Visiting the Rock Island District Office

The Rock Island District Headquarters is located in the Clock Tower Building on the west end of the Rock Island Arsenal which sits on an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. It is important to remember that the Mississippi River flows east to west at this location rather than north to south. This change in river flow can set you off course when navigating around the Quad Cities.

If using a GPS to find the Rock Island District, use this address: 1500 Rock Island Drive, Rock Island, IL. Link to Google Maps.

SECURITY CHECK

The Rock Island District Headquarters Office (Clock Tower Building), Mississippi River Visitor Center and Locks and Dam 15 are located on the west end of Arsenal Island in Rock Island, Illinois. Visitors must access the Island using the Moline Gate located near River Drive and 16th St. in Moline, Illinois.

These facilities are located on a military installation which requires visitors to be processed through a security checkpoint upon entering the island. Each person over the age of 16 will be required to show identification and a background check will be completed before an access pass will be issued.
