Some of the most popular trails include the Primrose Nature Trail and the River Route Nature Trail.

Another natural wonder not to be missed is Mississippi Palisades State Park, home to some of the most photogenic landscapes in the state. You could spend hours just sitting and taking in the spectacular views, and there are many overlooks that provide sweeping vistas over the Mississippi River from which to do this. There are also plenty of spots for rock climbing, boating, hiking, and biking. If you are up to the challenge, you could even take the Great River Trail that runs 62 miles from Savanna to the Quad Cities.

It was abandoned in the early 70s, and it wasn't long before nature took over. Today one can walk along the railroad bed, which is now overcome with vegetation, and enjoy the surroundings.
