Welcome!

There is a place in North America, in some ways, a land lost to time. It’s a mystical, enchanted land, mysteriously shielded from the glaciers of the last Ice Age. The landscape is filled with stunning scenery, bizarre microclimates at the extremes, and deep caves. The world’s oldest river meanders its way through the center, having carved beautiful cliffs lush with rare wildflowers and topped with Pleistocene pine relicts.  Ancient civilizations and dramatic historical events have left their mark on a landscape bursting with outdoor adventure, waiting for you to explore!

The Driftless Rivers National Park Foundation seeks creation of a new national park in the ruggedly beautiful blufflands of the Upper Mississippi and Kickapoo River valleys – the heart of America. Help us transform the dream into reality. Support the Driftless Rivers National Park Foundation.
