The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge constructed this roadside overlook for visitors to observe the abundant wildlife along the vast floodplain of the Mississippi River. The overlook offers a safe parking area away from the busy Highway 35. Informational posters provide details about the Mississippi River, as well as the waterbirds and ducks commonly seen at the site. Permanent telescopes are also available for public use.
