Mississippi River Fun Facts
Great River RoadThe Great River Road was established in 1938 as the national parkway of the Mississippi River. Follow the green Pilot's Wheel road signs that mark its route nearly 3,000 miles through 10 states.
The Mississippi River forms the 3rd largest drainage basin in the world. Its system of 29 locks-and-dams stretches 669 miles between Minneapolis, Minn. and Granite City, Ill., controlling nearly 2/3 of the nation's watershed.
Favorite Places Along the River
You've got to experience the waterfowl migration in the spring or fall between Potosi and Cassville, Wisc. Viewing flocks of 300+ American Pelicans or dozens of swans in one place is common... and breathtaking. It is nature at its most sublime and brings peace to the soul.
