Misssissppi River Water Trail
The Mississippi River Water Trail Association was established through the American Canoe Association to support and enhance the Mississippi River Water Trail and encourage community involvement. The Association showcases the Mississippi River as a paddling destination rich with cultural heritage, wildlife, natural areas, and history. The Association will promote and encourage safe paddling opportunities on the Mississippi River. Volunteers will provide support by maintaining trail rest areas, primitive campsites, and facilities to ensure quality recreational opportunities for paddlers. The Association will promote safety awareness and provide activities, events, and educational opportunities. The water trail association will also facilitate collaboration with communities, organizations, and agencies to foster sound safety and conservation practices along the river.
