Short, easy to do trails except for a few with some hiking upwards. Hard to get river views and there is no water fountain, but there is shaded picnic areas and a grill and it's easy to navigate.

Casper Bluff is good for an intermediate level walk, with more hills than you might expect and nice, wide mowed grass paths that lead along the river and next to some forest and much open grasslands. More benches than you can shake a stick at, so if you need a rest, you'll have ample opportunities.

Has a natural cemetery. Great walking paths. Beautiful view of Mississippi.

We were just there for an evening luminaries walk. Wonderful fires to keep you from being too cold at beginning and end of paths. Want to go back in daylight and warmer weather to really experience the bluff and see the Mississippi River …

Largest intact Thunderbird Indian mound in the area. Beautiful, too.
