The summer, warm and clear, draws visitors from all over the world. Sports enthusiasts enjoy golf at nearly a dozen courses - or softball, soccer, swimming and tennis. Cycling enthusiasts pedal along the river. Sailors, boaters, skiers and other water thrill seekers delight to the sounds, sights and sport on the rolling rivers. The many marinas and riverside attractions make the region a haven for those who love boating, parasailing, jetskiing, cruising and fishing.
Autumn is a barrage of color, when the bluffs are ablaze in fall's finest hues.
Great memories are made during long country drives. Visitors flock to Jersey County apple orchards or local roadside pumpkin patches. Country restaurants and cafes serve home-style meals topped off with incredible desserts. Autumn is a great time to go antiquing throughout the region. Our legendary season for visitors is when the great American Bald Eagle returns to its winter home along the bluffs of the Mississippi River.
