Riverfront

Downtown Davenport Mississippi Riverfront Recreation & Outdoor Activities

The Mighty Mississippi at our front porch provides the perfect backdrop for our riverfront parks and a variety of outdoor activities. Just from the downtown riverfront bike paths, there are restaurants, attractions, stores, and parks not too far from the path that can make for an enjoyable ride.

Bikers, bladers, and skateboarders are rolling on our riverfront paths, from beginner fitness enthusiasts to advanced athletes. There are plenty of options to interact with our river and you can see this first-hand from people fishing, boating, or eagle watching on the mighty Miss!

Downtown is constantly evolving and as the award-winning RiverVision Plan continues to unfold, you can expect to see even more exciting development along our shared riverfront.
