This rare, naturally formed river island is located in the Mississippi River just upstream from the historic confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers near Cairo, Illinois. Formed over time by river-deposited sand and gravel, Angelo Towhead is a true towhead island, offering a distinctive and secluded setting within the river channel. Situated near the southernmost point of Illinois, the property occupies a geographically significant position at one of the most recognized river junctions in the United States. Located in Alexander County and approximately one mile from the Cairo city limits, the island provides convenient access to town while maintaining a private, river-oriented environment. Angelo Towhead lies on the final stretch of the Middle Mississippi River and is recognized as the last island before the river transitions into the Lower Mississippi at the Ohio River confluence. With an approximate elevation of 315 feet, this property represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire land at the meeting point of two of America’s most iconic rivers.

The remaining acreage is comprised of natural bottomland forest with mature cottonwood, maple, and mixed hardwood species. This blend contributes to both sawtimber and pulpwood production while enhancing forest diversity and long-term sustainability.

At certain water levels, the back channel provides a unique whitewater-style experience. The island is well-suited for all-season, all-skill-level camping, though access to the upper end can vary due to a wrap-around rock dike. The dikes have been notched, and a private sandbar below the second dike emerges at low to medium water levels, creating a secluded campsite away from river traffic. Despite being located just over a mile from Cairo, the island feels remarkably remote and wild, offering a rare combination of accessibility and true river seclusion.
