The Odessa water trail provides the outdoor
canoeing enthusiast with the unique opportunity to enjoy a
scenic tour of a
Port Louisa national wildlife refuge and State of Iowa,
Odessa wildlife management area. The trail winds its way
through a Mississippi River bottom land habitat with ponds,
chutes, timber, marshlands, and flowers. The paddlers will have
the opportunity to see ducks and geese, water lily beds,
pileated woodpeckers, cardinal flowers, and great blue herons as
they explore such places as Horseshoe bend, Sand Run, Beebe Pond
and Yankee Chute.
The Reflections of Louisa Resource Area was
a project of the Tri-Rivers Conservation Foundation to capture
people "reflecting" on their life experiences that tie them to
the local natural resources. Volunteers have interviewed and
recorded thirteen people in the last couple of years.
Subjects recorded so far include: geology, duck hunting, caves,
horses, 1993 flood, Big Sand Mound, piloting, and trees &
plants. A Power Point show is available as a program for
classrooms, clubs, and organizations.
Naturally Louisa County is a unique
combination of individuals, private groups and government coming
together to provide a central point for information about Louisa
County natural, cultural, and historical resources. These
partners joined together to help each other present the Louisa
County story - Tri-Rivers
Conservation Foundation,
