The Upper Mississippi River Project offers extensive opportunities for water-based recreation, ranging from backwater hunting and fishing to long-distance cruising in the main channel.
Although this area focuses on water-based fun, there are still some biking opportunities to be explored. Most of these are on roads or crushed gravel trails that run alongside the Mississippi River, and offer beautiful views.
