Outdoor Activities
The Quad Cities’ location along the Mississippi River makes it a natural hub for outdoor activities. Hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching are all popular pastimes, with miles of trails and waterways to explore across the metro area.
The Great River Trail, Hennepin Canal Parkway, and numerous local parks and forest preserves provide scenic settings for outdoor adventure.
