Natural Areas
Luther's location is one of its greatest assets for those interested natural resources. Luther is situated in the Oneota Valley, surrounded by high limestone bluffs and densely wooded hillsides. The Upper Iowa River, which flows through a portion of the campus, is one of 27 rivers designated by the Department of the Interior as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The 800-acre college campus includes ponds, woodlots, and prairie areas for field study.
