WE VISITED ROCK CREEK MARINA AND ECO CENTER YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.    THIS BEAUTIFUL PARK AND NEW CENTER IS LOCATED ABOUT 6 MILES SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 30, JUST PAST CAMANCHE, ON HIGHWAY 67 SOUTH.  TURN LEFT AT THE ROCK QUARRY AND IT IS OFF THE ROAD A MILE OR SO.
IT IS OPERATED BY CLINTON COUNTY CONSERVATION.     IN PHOTOS ABOVE, YOU WILL SEE THE LARGE AQUARIUM, THE RECORD DEER SHOT AT 
SPRAGUEVILLE,  THE BEAUTIFUL MISSISSIPPI RIVER DOCKING AREA,
AND ABOVE, AT END OF PIER, THE BLUE HERON PONTOON BOAT THAT
GIVES 90-MINUTE TOURS OF THE RIVER EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT AT
7 AND SATURDAY MORNING AT 9 AND SOME OTHER SPECIAL CRUISES.
THEY ARE NARRATED BY A CONSERVATION STAFF MEMBER.    THE BUILDING
IS VERY LARGE AND INCLUDES A BIG ROOM FOR PUBLIC EVENTS, INCLUDING WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES.     TAKE SOME TIME TO VISIT THIS PARK SOON....THE ROCK CREEK PARK AND NEW ECO CENTER.
