About Grand Tower

Set right along the banks of the Mississippi River in Jackson County, Grand Tower offers a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle framed by rugged river bluffs. The town takes its name from Tower Rock, a distinctive limestone landmark rising straight out of the water. Residents enjoy easy access to the outdoors at Devil’s Backbone Park, where you can camp, picnic, and take in panoramic river views. It’s a tight-knit, scenic community for anyone looking to settle into peaceful small-town river life.
