Самая удаленная точка Айовы: заповедник на реке Миссисипи

Finding the Most Secluded Spot in All of Iowa Wide Open Spaces. That's Iowa in a nutshell. It's not the emptiest state but it's certainly got some serious elbow room. In fact, you might be surprised at just how much desolation you can find in the Hawkeye State. But where is the most remote stretch in all of Iowa? You might be surprised at the answer to that question. The Most Desolate Spot In All of Iowa To calculate the most isolated spot in all of Iowa, we have to find the place, that, when measured, is the most geographically isolated from any human settlement. Iowa has numerous candidates: Perhaps, somewhere within the Loess Hills? Or, maybe, somewhere in the vast and secluded southwestern part of the state? These are most definitely isolated in their own right, but according to google, the most remote location in the Hawkeye State belongs to The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife Refuge. Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge has been a haven for migratory birds, fish, wildlife and people since 1924. The refuge stretches 261 river miles from Wabasha, Minnesota to Rock Island, Illinois, and protects more than 240,000 acres of Mississippi River floodplain. The refuge hosts more than 3.7 million annual visits for hunting, fishing, wildlife observations, and other recreation. The refuge is a Wetland of International Importance and a Globally Important Bird Area. -Fish & Wildlife Service Website Now that you've discovered the most remote spot in Iowa, what about the rest of the 'Lower 48'?
