While passing through the lovely state of Iowa, I payed a visit to the DeSoto NWR. It is located about 5 miles off US 29 near the small town of Missouri Valley IA. The refuge is in Iowa and Nebraska. A sign on the refuge auto tour lets you know when you cross the border. The visitor center is new and has many informative displays about the geological, natural, and cultural history of the area. This refuge has a wonderful blend of tall grass prairie and woodland. The refuge includes a large lake and is partly bordered by the Missouri River. I would love to return to this refuge in the spring or fall months and spend more time.
