The Interstate 74 "Twin Bridges" disappear into the early morning fog. The view is from Bettendorf's Leach Park along the Mississippi River looking across to the Moline riverfront.

The trail ends just past the State Street bridge over Duck Creek in a small park area. Future plans call for connecting the Duck Creek trail to the proposed trail along the Mississippi River.
