DAVENPORT, IOWA (August 21, 2024) — River Action’s Senior Citizen Golf Cart Tours allow participants to experience and learn about our Mississippi riverfront while riding in the front seat of a golf cart along beautiful riverfront, Nahant Marsh, or Duck Creek. These guided golf cart tours of riverfront trails on both sides of the Mississippi, Iowa and Illinois, are a fun way to gain knowledge on the past, present, and future of riverfront development.

Registrations are required; space is limited. Register by mail or online at riveraction.org/golfcarttour.

Rent a cart for tours to be held on Thursday, September 5, and Friday, September 6. Two days of tours enable participants to go on more tours. Please note that they are two-person covered golf carts and may be rented for just one or two participants; however, one of the participants must be able to drive the cart.

The fee is $30.00 per cart for two participants on a tour. Pay by credit card or check made payable to River Action. This event is held rain or shine; no refunds will be given.
