While embracing the numerous historical aspects of the Lincoln Highway, take some time to enjoy nature and visit the Illinois section of the Upper Mississippi National Wildlife Refuge. Marvel at the impressive Bald Eagles as they dive for fish along the Mississippi. Experience the vast array of birds, such as warblers, vireos, thrushes and sparrows that use the Mississippi on their migratory routes. From the beginning of its existence, the refuge has been a place to contemplate and enjoy nature, and an abundance of activities exist await you. Canoe the quiet backwaters, camp on an island, fish a favorite spot, or watch for waterfowl in the 261-mile refuge.
