UMR Watershed Canoe/Kayak Trail Information

The Upper Mississippi and its tributaries offer plenty of opportunities for many hours of paddling fun. Backwaters and tributary water trails provide a convenient way to reconnect with wonders of nature. While the Ol' Miss main channel and larger side channels are often dominated on weekends and holidays by powerboats throwing big waves, weekdays and evenings can be relatively quiet and offer an opportunity for a quick get-away in your kayak or canoe.

From short day trips to overnight adventures, the following links will help guide you to an appropriate water trail near you. No matter what your skill level, be sure to check out the canoe safety web pages so you can return home safe and sound to plan your next paddling experience.
