Fish Farm Mounds State Preserve, Archaeological burial mounds in Allamakee County, United States.

The Fish Farm Mounds State Preserve spans three acres and contains multiple earthwork formations created by Native American communities along the Upper Mississippi River.

The site received state protection through a donation from the Fish family in 1935 and earned National Register of Historic Places recognition in 1988.

The mound group represents burial practices of indigenous peoples who inhabited the Upper Mississippi River Valley during prehistoric times.

Visitors can access the preserve through nearby New Albin, Iowa, with optimal viewing conditions during daylight hours from spring through fall.

The preserve sits within the Driftless Area, a region that remained untouched by glaciers during the last ice age, near the Upper Iowa River mouth.

Location: Allamakee County
