GO (SEE) FISH!

The Driftless Education Center on the south side of Lansing provides an amazing “welcome” to Northeast Iowa and the Mississippi River Valley. The Education Center, a longtime project of Allamakee County Conservation (and many others), has provided an amazing meeting and visiting place since late 2017 – including several aquatic, amphibian, and river valley adjacent displays and educational exhibits.

This spring, with funds raised for the fifth anniversary of Driftless Education Center, a 16 -foot, 1,250-gallon fresh water aquarium has been installed, featuring native species of the Mississippi River. Essentially, the aquarium gives guests a close-up view of the Mississippi River and several species of fish that live in the River.

The Driftless Education Center is open seven days a week (afternoons only on weekends), with free admission – and is well worth the visit! Find out more at allamakeecountyconservation.org/ driftless-center
