• River: Mississippi River
• Surface Area: 3,000 Acres
Lake Odesa is a large body of water bordering the Mississippi River in Southeastern Iowa. It is conveniently located just a half-hour from Muscatine's establishments like Walmart, Walgreens, hotels, restaurants, and UnityPoint Health. Quad City International Airport is less than 60 miles away in Moline, Illinois.

Lake Odesa is a vast expanse of water covering roughly 3,000 acres. Lake Odesa's waters connect to the backwaters of the Mississippi River, providing endless exploring for kayakers and canoers.

Fishers have fun angling the lake's supply of black bullheads, black crappie, largemouth bass, channel catfish, and bluegill. There are miles of trails wind about the waters, featuring views of blue herons, wood ducks, otters, softshell turtles, and other native wildlife.

The Port Louisa Wildlife Refuge is an excellent location for birdwatching. The refuge was established to protect migratory birds like mallards, pintail, blue-winged teal, indigo bunting, warblers, and other songbirds.

Lake Odesa Campground features full-sun and shaded lots, picnic tables, lake access, bathrooms, and more.
