Situated along the beautiful bend on the upper Mississippi River at the intersection of I-80, LeClaire was home to the brave river pilots who navigated the treacherous Upper Rapids between LeClaire and Rock Island, Illinois.
The City of LeClaire offers several options for visitors, featuring unique shops as well as several annual events, including our Tugfest when LeClaire takes on Port Byron, Illinois for a tug of war across the mighty Mississippi River that culminates in an amazing fireworks display. Area attractions to interest visitors include the Buffalo Bill Museum, honoring LeClaire's most famous native son, William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody, as well as local history. The Mississippi Valley Welcome Center offers more information about the area, travel services, a scenic overlook, historical displays, Iowa products gift shop, antiques, and art gallery.
Lodging options include three hotels and several bed and breakfasts that are located with beautiful river views and within walking or short distance to downtown LeClaire's unique shopping district and numerous restaurants. Area churches always welcome visitors.
Nature photographers will be delighted at the best viewing of Bald Eagles in the continental United States at Lock & Dam 14 in the Winter and Pelicans that call LeClaire "home" during Spring and Summer months. Details.
Free Wireless Internet Access is available to visitors at the Mississippi Valley Welcome Center, downtown at Happy Joe's Pizza, or the LeClaire Community Library (3rd and Wisconsin), which has 7 public access computers.
