I lived in Davenport growing up and as a teenager I would take my younger brothet and sister with there friends on this trail. Of course this was back in the 70's and it was great. though many of the trees were new and not a lot of shade back then. But we dodn't care we rode our bikes and had a blast. we probably rode the trail a dozen times or more. for end to end. It started at 84 lumber now Hickory Grove auto, (Junk Yard) and stopped right before bettendorf. Today I'm sure the trees have fully grown and the trail is longer. It starts at What made this trail so great is it runs along duck creek and that is were some of the city parks are located. you Start at Emeis park west side of Davenport, then you go through Northwest Park, Junge Park, Garfield park, next to Duck Creek golf course, Under Interstae 74 highway, Through Middle Park, Hollow View Park, Devils Glen Park and ends at HWY 67 & S Kensington St. It's an awesome trail today. Restroom at most if not all of the parks. along with rides and shelters. some have Pop machines. This trail was patroled by the police on bikes been a few years since I've been back. But if your in town and want some exercise this is one great place to get them. ¿ ¿

Beautifully maintained paved trail through the city mostly covered with tree shade. At mile 3, restaurants and bars are next to the trail. Very few streets to cross with traffic lights that start with in seconds of pushing the button. Good was for tourists to take a quick ride.

The full length of the Duck Creek Trail is now in good condition.
