Recreational opportunities overwhelm the Mississippi River Navigation Pools.  Hunters, fishermen, boaters, birdwatchers, and picnickers can enjoy the beauty of the area, yet there are ample opportunities for avid adventurists like bikers, hikers, canoeists, skiers, rollerbladers, and joggers.  No matter what your favorite outdoor activity is, you'll find what your looking for at the various recreation areas surrounding the Mississippi River. 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects complimented by various other Federal and State Agencies are provided for public use and entertainment to our visitors.  To ensure your enjoyment, please observe all safety precautions while recreating at our facilities.  Your safety is our concern.  Rules and regulations are posted on bulletin boards and available at all project offices and visitor centers. 

Remember:  Lifejackets float, you don't!
