Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park

The three 800-pull motors that power the Gateway Geyser are achieving twist speed, sounding sufficiently solid to dispatch a rocket.At full power, the spring shoots 7,500 gallons of water for each moment into the sky over the East St. Louis riverfront. In the event that it's not breezy, the watery impact can achieve 600 feet, about the stature of the Gateway Arch, which is straightforwardly over the Mississippi River.

The spring is the tallest wellspring in the United States, and the 10-minute exhibition can be seen for miles. In any case, the best place to watch is the survey stage at Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park, a 34-section of the land site simply down from the Casino Queen and Cargill grain elevator.The neglect is likewise a prime spot for Arch-gazers — giving postcard perspectives of the stainless steel landmark and St. Louis cityscape.
