Description

Iowa is known as the Land between two rivers and the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge makes up the majority of the northern half of the state's east coast. The Upper Mississippi River NWFR includes land and river in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois, which can be viewed via the National Scenic Byways that stretch along either side of the river. Water levels throughout the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge are managed through a system of 11 locks and dams, maintaining habitat that attracts 40% of migrating waterfowl in the United States. Listen to the audio files below to learn more about this longest refuge and then plan a trip to visit Iowa's northeast coast.
