THE REFUGE
Scenery
Soak in the magnificent beauty as we explore the Mississippi River valley's most scenic area.

Grandiose towering limestone bluffs draped with mighty oak, walnut and maple trees reflect in the waters off our bow.

In the backwaters, fields of lotus abound, boasting their fragrant oversized yellow blossoms.

As far as the eye can see, you are surrounded by the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge offering thousands of acres of backwaters that have been intriguing and luring people to them for centuries.

Wildlife/Bird Watching
The Mississippi Explorer's journey brings us into the heart of the Mississippi River Fly Way, home for a numerous variety of birds. You will marvel at nature's beauty as majestic bald eagles soar down from their aerie to the river's surface to grasp a fish in its talons, then returning to the nest to feed the young eaglets. Truly, this is a bird watcher's paradise. As we round the bends, keep a watchful eye out for deer, mink, raccoons, otters, muskrats, and hard working busy beavers.
