Historic Riverfront — Attraction in Paducah

• Nice Paducah, Ky. River Front access concrete boat ramp with more than one launching ramp. Visitors on foot, while boaters use the ramps. A popular calm hangout. Cars and trucks drive by or stop to view the river traffic and activities, tow boats and barges, motor boats, fishermen, sea gulls and people in general. Or just to listen to the calming effects of the waves splashing against the shore. Once the river is ( at--or--below ) pool stage, the fishing is pretty good, you can also search for broken fishing line around the rocks with good hooks, lures and sinkers still attached.
• Tourist are attracted to the city side of Paducah's flood wall. Displayed are several artist hand painted realistic murals of Paducah's forgotten past.

Safe 4th of July fireworks celebration at Paducah Riverfront. The Fireworks are shot on the Ohio River from a river barge. SUPER NICE DISPLAY ! *...

I admit that I expected more of Paducah and their riverfront because of the history and what some tourists shared in their reviews. I believe they're going to build up this town more and attract investors and the attention that they deserve, but I would recommend going on a Friday or Saturday. Lots of businesses were closed up on Sunday. Now, on a positive note, there are unique murals painted on walls along the downtown area close to the riverfront. These represented some historical events and I recommend checking them out! The National Quilters Museum was a gem as well. It was only a few minutes walk from the riverfront and we could see it from where we were walking. It's best to park near the riverfront then you'll have access to many businesses...
