Stretches of the Mississippi River within the park corridor exceed water quality standards for mercury, bacteria, sediment, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl), and nutrients. Unfortunately, these "impairments" can make the water unsuitable for fishing, swimming, and drinking. Mar 6, 2023

It has the lowest HDI in the US. (0.866) That would put it between San Marino and Chile on the country HDI rating. (44th highest overall)
