Nauvoo City Park

A good place to sit and take a break is across from the Temple at the Nauvoo City Park. There are some picnic tables and a place for kids to run around. Next to the park is the Old Nauvoo Jail, which was built after the Mormon Pioneers left from blocks of stone taken from the Temple.

Nauvoo State Park

Nauvoo State Park is located on the south edge of Nauvoo, just across the street from Old Nauvoo. The 148 acre park features a 13-acre lake with a mile-long shoreline. Fishing, boating, camping, and hiking, is available. There is a scenic 1 1/2 mile trail along the edge of the lake. There are plenty of picnic tables and playground equipment for kids. The Nauvoo Historical Society also has a museum in the Nauvoo State Park: the Rheinberger Museum. Tours are free. The Rheinberger Museum has a large collection of furniture and other articles dating back to Native American times. More information at (217) 453–6422 or www.nauvoohistoricalsociety.org
