Tom Sawyer Island

This manmade island is located in the center of the Rivers of America. To reach this island, you’ll need to hop aboard one of the Tom Sawyer log rafts, which depart regularly. The island is open during daylight hours only. Kids especially will love exploring Injun Joe’s Cave, Harper’s Mill, and Ft. Sam Clemens. The island is filled with dirt paths to follow, bridges to cross, and lots of places to explore.

Trivia

  • The rafts to the island are named for characters from the Mark Twain novels.
  • Listen carefully inside the old mill and you might just hear the old tune, "Down by the Old Mill Stream" in the creaking and groaning.
