The Missouri National Recreational River

Water Trail covers the Missouri River

from Fort Randall Dam near Pickstown,

SD, to Sioux City, IA. The water trail is

managed by a planning group comprised

of several federal, state, local, and non-

profit organizations. This group has im-

proved public access to the river, installed

trailhead signs, and built an interactive

website and mobile app to educate users

about the river and help them plan float

trips.

Organized Public Events

The 39 and 59-mile segments of the Missouri

National Recreational River are among the

last natural reaches of this river. These sec-

tions of the river are designated under the

Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to preserve and

protect their natural condition. On these

parts of the river, visitors can get a glimpse of

the untamed river that native peoples, early

explorers, and riverboat crews encountered.

It is also part of the Lewis and Clark National

Historic Trail which spans 11 states.

Trailhead Signs

Twenty-seven infor-

mational signs have

been installed at

public access sites

along the river. These

signs help to educate

water trail users

about the natural fea-

tures and cultural history they will experience

on the river.

Public Access Site Improvements

Efforts are being made to improve primi-

tive access sites. The result will be access

points that are safer and more inviting to

the paddling community.

The MNRR Water Trail is

part of the National

Water Trails System

A number of public activities and events

are held along the MNRR Water Trail

each year.

These events range from interpretive

group paddles organized by the water

trail partners to formal races sponsored

by other organizations. The variety of ac-

tivities and events provides opportunities

for paddlers of all experience and skill

levels to get on the Missouri River.
