I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express nearby and needed to find a walking trail nearby. This one was the closest and literally started from the parking lot of my hotel. Not a super long trail, but it gets the job done for getting some exercise while on the road for work. The walking path is entirely paved with asphalt and well maintained. What is really nice is the path takes you by the bridge and waterway into Peoria. Very scenic. Tip: For REO Speedwagon fans, stop by the bench by the water that is dedicated to one of its founders of the band, Gary Richrath, their guitarist.

Absolutely love this park!!! Such a nice relaxing spot to just sit back and do nothing. Also along the fence, couples put a lock on which I thought was really cool. So of course we went right over to Walmart and got one to put on the fence. Just make sure you're out by 10:00, the signs make it very clear that you will be arrested if you're caught out there after 10. We'll definitely be back!!!

The views you can get from the lookout points are phenomenal no matter where on the walk you stand. You can see both of the bridges as well as the downtown skyline which is beautiful at night. There is a little park so you can park your car and walk along the riverfront which is great.

Beautiful unexpected city and park. There's a nice wide walking path and benches and a gazebo. Lots of trash cans also which is convenient and easy free parking nearby. Amazing night view. Do beware of goose poop on the sidewalks/grass!
