Outdoor enthusiasts can stop at Nature at the Confluence in South Beloit to visit the Rock River Trail visitor center, which is located at about the halfway point of the 320-mile trail.
As well as being a river trail, the Rock River Trail includes a history trail, birding trail and new craft brewery and wine trail. The trail runs through 11 counties from near Horicon, Wisconsin, to Rock Island, Illinois. Go online to natureattheconfluence.com for more information.
