National Scenic Byways
 As one of the most famous — and longest — scenic and historic drives in the United States, the Great River Road is a federally designated route covering 3,000 miles of federal, state and county roads that generally follow the Mighty Mississippi from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Look for the pilot wheel signs to guide you along Iowa’s segment. Pass through national wildlife refuges; observe the workings of the immense system of locks and dams; discover some of Iowa’s oldest communities; ride a riverboat.

Highways 26, 52, 61, 67 and 99 make up segments of the route, along with other state and county roads.
