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.
