Mississippi River Refuge
The Mississippi River Wildlife Refuge was established in 1924 and consists of a 261 mile long stretch of the Mississippi River and encompasses 240,000 acres protected from development and commercialization. Lansing sits on the edge of this refuge and offers an exceptional perspective, the pictures below are courtesy Dan Moy Photography and represent the Lansing portion of The Refuge.
