Missouri Bootheel at a Glance
The Southeastern corner of Missouri
is known as the Bootheel, a name garnered from the shape the state takes between
the Mississippi
and St. Francis Rivers. Farmington
is a quintessential Bootheel town, counting a skate
park and golf courses among the available outdoor activities. The rural
characteristics of the region once lent themselves to bootlegging and moonshine
stills, and today, the dearth of major cities in the area is countered by a
modest agricultural industry. Cape
Girardeau and Sikeston
are two of the more prominent cities, offering amenities and services to the
surrounding area. Cabin accommodation and vacation homes such as the Crystal
Lake Retreat can be found in the area, offering visitors a chance to experience
the outdoors of Missouri. To literally get to the bottom of Missouri, Bonne
Terre Mine Tours take visitors under the ground to see Billion Gallon Lake,
one of the largest underground lakes in the world.
