Upper Mississippi Fish & Wildlife Refuge
|
 |
|
The Upper Mississippi Fish & Wildlife Refuge was established in 1924 by an Act of Congress. As the nation's first sanctuary for fish, the Upper Mississippi Fish & Wildlife Refuge owes its existence to the avid fisherman and lure designer Will Dilg. |

|
The 261-mile refuge is the longest river refuge in the continental U.S. The refuge begins at the confluence of the Chippewa River near Wabasha, Minnesota, and ends near Rock Island, Illinois. The refuge lies within four states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. | |
