Lock and Dam 16 is part of the U.S. Corps of Engineers Rock Island District inland water system. It is located right across the bridge at Muscatine, Iowa. The open-air platform viewing area is a great place to watch the industrial barges, passenger steamboats, and pleasure crafts lock through in the summertime. It's also a popular area for bald eagles to hang out in the trees and fish in the winter, sometimes in plain view of the platform. Open to the public at 8:00 a.m., Lock and Dam 16 has park bench seating areas and a restroom. There is a tall chain-link security fence that surrounds the area to prohibit access to the river and makes it safe for all ages to enjoy. Quick, easy access makes this a must-see site when visiting Muscatine.
