Confluence
The Ted and Pat Jones State Park marks the confluence of the continent's two biggest rivers - the Missouri and the Mississippi.
It's GREAT that a Park is there to acknowledge this amazing piece of geography, but one wishes for more perhaps. :-) (I read a comment noting that if this were in Europe, there'd be a much bigger deal made.)
Nonetheless, THE Confluence is here, and a site to behold!

Good News and Bad - A Location and a Park
By it's very nature, the confluence is in a remote spot in (very) north St. Louis. On the one hand, it's NICE that a State Park exists to mark the site. But given the amazing merging here, more could be done? Gravel roads to/from the Park, and the trail is defined, but not paved. I had heard rumors that a tower had been built, but if so, I didn't see it.
