The beauty of the Mississippi surrounds this peninsular community

River Nature Upscale Charming

Mud Island isn’t actually an island, but a scenic peninsula just across Wolf River Harbor from Downtown Memphis. Predominately comprised of Mud Island Park and River Walk — both of which provide amazing views of the Mississippi River — there are a few Mud Island rentals near Interstate 40. Yachts and boats bob in the Harbor Town marina, luxury condos line the Wolf River, and joggers take in sunset runs along Greenbelt Park. Today more than 5,000 people live here enjoying the waterfront charm of the peninsula. The interstate will carry you into Downtown Memphis in just minutes, while the surrounding river provides endless recreation and beauty.
