Welcome to Lansing, Iowa
At the top of the Iowa Great River Road and in the midst of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge lies the community of Lansing. When you visit this working river town, you're going to see diesel towboats pushing 15-barge tows and commercial fishermen still fishing the waters of the Mississippi for their daily catch. If it was good enough to get us this far in the world, then it's good enough to keep on doing it today!
Voted the third most beautiful spot in America, Lansing has your passport to nature and is a nurturing rest stop for thousands of travelers along the Mississippi.
When you visit this community, you can leave the “working” to the residents, because it's time to relax.
