Anglers and paddlers who want direct Mississippi River access will find this hard to beat. Sites right on the water let you fish from shore, and the backwater channels are ideal for canoes and kayaks. Arrive early to land one of the riverfront spots.
Train tracks run close enough that light sleepers will notice them after dark. Pack earplugs or expect some interruptions. If you need hookup certainty before you leave home, the first-come policy makes this a gamble on busy summer weekends.

Project lands are located within the Corps of Engineers Nine Foot Navigation Project and the Fish and Wildlife Service Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. The Main channel provides deep draft boating opportunities while the backwaters provide a wilderness area atmosphere for the smaller shallow draft boats. There is an observation platform for visitors to watch lock operations and see towboats and barges up close. Authorized in 1930 to provide a 9-foot navigation channel between Minneapolis - St. Paul, MN and St. Louis, MO, the Upper Mississippi River Project offers extensive opportunities for water-based recreation, ranging from backwater hunting and fishing to long-distance cruising in the main channel. In the St. Paul District, the project flows through three National Wildlife Refuges, the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, many State and local wildlife and recreation areas. Designated an American Heritage River, it offers visitors many recreational opportunities, including sightseeing along the river, visiting quaint river towns, viewing the wooded bluffs along the river, and watching bald eagles soaring.

Best season: summer. Summer is the best time to visit Pool 10's River of Lakes Campground because warm, stable weather (daytime highs commonly in the mid-70s to mid-80s °F, nights in the 50s–60s) makes boating, paddling, fishing, and long evening campfires most enjoyable. Water activities are at their peak—calm backwaters and interconnected channels are ideal for canoeing/kayaking and largemouth/bass and panfish angling—and wildlife viewing (waterfowl, herons, turtles) is abundant. Expect moderate crowds on summer- Peak months: July, August, June, September Avoid: December, January, February
Seasonal notes: summer delivers best conditions; water activities peak in warm months.
