See some breathtaking views of the Mississippi River, all the way across to Iowa. There are some nice rolling groomed trails, that are excellent for hiking, XC skiing and snowshoeing

Not only does Casper Bluff Land & Water Reserve boast some of the most commanding views of the Mississippi River and its backwater sloughs, it is also an archaeologically significant site. The 170-acre site contains the Aiken Mound Group, named for the nearby community of Aiken. Our modern knowledge of these mounds stems from 1900, when William Baker Nickerson, an amateur archaeologist who worked for the railroads, documented 51 mounds at this location: 38 long, wall-like structures, 12 conical mounds, and one thunderbird effigy. Nickerson also observed an earth ellipse or hut-ring and two circular depressions.
