Lock & Dam #13

Thousands of visitors come to view the barges and boats locking through on the widest pool in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. This lock and dam is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is an excellent location to view bald eagles during the winter months (November - March). Public lock & dam tours are held Sundays at 1 p.m. between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, but you can enjoy of a viewing deck open all year round. Special group tours may be arranged by calling the park rangers.
