Heartland is located along The Mississippi River Trail (MRT). Many bicyclist who journey down this route choose Heartland as one of their overnight stops. Our resort is only 2 miles off this National Scenic Byway. The Governors' sponsored Illinois bike ride traveled this route and used our resort as one of their unique stopping points.
