My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.

The mighty Mississippi River is one of those iconic landmarks that holds massive historical significance. It is one of the largest rivers in our country and is used as a dividing line for east and west. Being on the east side of the Mississippi, Memphis benefits greatly by being located right along the water. And if you want to fully  experience the waters of this resplendent river, the best way is to hop aboard the Memphis Riverboat Cruise in Tennessee.
