Canoe Tower is a riverside lookout and sculptural landmark in Steelville offering elevated views over the Meramec River and surrounding Ozark ridges. Photograph the canoe-shaped silhouette against sunrise or sunset, river reflections, and seasonal fall color. Easy roadside parking on Main St; expect a short climb up stairs to the platform. Best in golden hour and on clear or partly cloudy days; weekdays offer fewer visitors.
