Lansing

The landscape around Lansing is defined by the broad Mississippi River valley and the steep bluffs of the Driftless Area, which have shaped both the town’s compact riverside form and its longstanding ties to river travel. Set in northeastern Iowa, Lansing faces Wisconsin across the river, where wooded slopes rise sharply beyond the floodplain. The Black Hawk Bridge, completed in 1931, became a local landmark linking Iowa Highway 9 across the Mississippi. Nearby, the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge protects channels, backwaters and habitat used by migratory birds.
