About this postcard

Rowboats carrying passengers move across the calm water of Riverside Lake in Memphis's Riverside Park, with a grassy bank, benches, and a path edging the water and dense trees lining the far shore. The printed caption notes the park sits on bluffs 100 feet above the Mississippi, covers 420 acres as the largest in the Memphis park system, and that Scenic Riverside Lake covers about 7 acres.
