Start at Duck Creek Golf Course. The 140-acre course with its mature trees and rolling hills is a peaceful place to begin your evening. It is a good 15-20 minute drive or a long walk from the village, so give yourself plenty of time to get there before the sun starts to dip.
16:31
Walk five minutes to Lagomarcino's for a sweet start. This turn-of-the-century ice cream parlor and confectionary is a James Beard America's Classics Award winner. Grab some ice cream or a chocolate to enjoy while you walk toward the historic district. The shop is open until 22:00 on weekdays, so it is wide open.
16:46
Head to the lower section of Lindsay Park. This 31-acre park is a contributing property of the Davenport Village Historic District. Arrive here as the golden light begins to fade. The sun sets toward the WSW, which aligns with the general view from the park area toward the river, giving you a beautiful backdrop for your ice cream.
17:11
Stroll the four-minute path into the Village of East Davenport. This historic district, started as an independent community in 1851, is now a hub for shopping and entertainment. The atmosphere shifts from park quiet to village charm as you enter the main thoroughfare.

11th Street Precinct Bar & Grill
Stop at 11th Street Precinct Bar & Grill for a drink and a bite. This bar and grill has been in business for over 30 years and features a renovated facility. It is a great spot to unwind after your walk. The grill menu ranges from $5 to $25.
17:56
End the evening with dinner at Rudy's Tacos East Village. Located just a four-minute walk from the village center, this Mexican restaurant serves soft drinks and tacos. It is open until 22:00 on weekdays, making it a perfect late-night finish to your evening out.
Local tip
The walk from Duck Creek Golf Course to the East Village is long (27+ minutes from Lindsay Park, further from the golf course). Consider driving or checking local transport options to get from the golf course to the village in time for the sunset. The food steps are all clustered in the Village of East Davenport, so once you are there, everything is within a short walk.
