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.
