June 13, '07. Another view from the Paducah waterfront. The Ohio R. strolls at 1.5 mph to the left (westbound) seeking the Mississippi at Cairo, IL. These metal and wood post railings are part of the expansive waterfront access area at Paducah.

One mile upriver (to the right) the Tennessee spills into the Ohio. Paducah was once a winter haven for steamboats waiting out the winter freeze that rarely reached this far south.
