Trails
Riverview Park Recreational Trail
The "Discovery Recreational Trail" was originally constructed in 1986 and, with ongoing additions through the years, now extends 4.8 miles from Riverview Park north along the Mississippi River to Eagle Point Park. The trail is asphalt in some sections and concrete in others, offering walkers, joggers and bicycle riders a place to enjoy the river while they exercise or simply take a long, casual walk, watching the mighty Mississippi roll by.
Great River Biking & Hiking Trail
Twenty miles of this trail extends from Albany thru Fulton and on to Thomson in Illinois. This section will be a part of the Great River Trail which is planned to extend from the Quad Cities to Savanna, Illinois and will eventually connect to the Grand Illinois Trail across northern Illinois.
