Very nice park right across the street from the campground and river. Excellent hiking and mountain biking trails there are two very nice downhill sections with wood and metal burms .

Great place for hiking and biking. Just make sure to check your trail direction based on the day of the week.
In 1944 the Rock Island County Forest Preserve Commissioners purchased a 174-acre tract of land along the Mississippi River shoreline east of Hampton, IL for $40,000. This land was owned by Albert Oltman and was known as the Oltman tract farm. The Oltman tract was believed to be a popular place for Indian gatherings, so the Forest Preserve was given the name of Illiniwek, which means “favorite Indian spot.”
