Pine Creek Grist Mill은 아이오와주 와일드캣 덴 주립공원(Wildcat Den State Park)에 있으며 머스카틴(Muscatine)에서 북동쪽에 위치해 있습니다. 1848년 Benjamin Nye이 건축한 이 곳은 미시시피 강과 로키 산맥 사이에서 원래 위치에 있는 가장 오래된 작동 중인 제분소입니다. 이 제분소는 곡물을 빻아 밀가루와 옥수수 가루로 만들던 초기 정착민들에게 중요한 중심지였습니다. 오늘날, 거대한 3.5층 높이의 참나무 구조물은 박물관으로 운영되고 있으며, 맷돌을 돌리던 복잡한 벨트와 풀리 시스템을 포함한 19세기 중반의 원래 기계 장치를 여전히 볼 수 있습니다. 역사적인 강철 다리와 근처 1880년대의 1실짜리 학교 건물과 함께 사진 촬영 명소로 인기가 많습니다.

The Government Bridge, also known as the Arsenal Bridge, spans the Mississippi River between Rock Island, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa. Built in 1896, the bridge has two levels: the upper deck serves the Iowa Interstate Railroad, while the lower deck carries vehicle traffic and has lanes on each side for pedestrians and cyclists. It features a swing section to allow river navigation. The current bridge is the fourth at this location; the first, built in 1856, was the first railroad bridge across the Mississippi. Subsequent bridges were built after damage from collisions, ice storms, and tornadoes.

The Mississippi River Trail (MRT) is a long distance bike trail that traverses 10 states. It travels for over 2,000 continuous miles on each side of the river, between the headwaters at Lake Itasca, Minnesota and the Gulf of Mexico. It is still work in progress but when complete the route will consist of trails and bike-friendly roads, with “MRT” signs identifying the way. In Illinois, the MRT route goes through some of the state’s most diverse landscapes and provides miles of great cycling. It hugs historic canals, crosses unglaciated hills, parallels the Rock and Fox Rivers, and includes one of America’s first rail-trails.

Following the Mississippi River Trail and with excellent views of the river, you can enjoy this peaceful segment on your bike that connects the Crescent Bridge with the Rock Island Centennial Bridge.
