Gateway Geyser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gateway Geyser, located on the riverfront of the Mississippi River in East Saint Louis, Illinois, is the world's tallest fountain. Water can reach a height of around 600 feet when shot out of its main spout. This is significant as its purpose is to mirror the height of the Saint Louis Arch, which stands 630 feet high on the opposite riverbank.
On June 17, 2005, it was announced that the Gateway Geyser and its 34 acre site will become part of a new park named after the late Malcolm W. Martin.
