Big Muddy Speaker Series July 2025

Join Melissa Sauter from the Mississippi River Water Trail Association (MRWTA) to hear about the success of this National Water Trail. The Mississippi River Water Trail, a National Water Trail since 2012, encompasses 121 miles of the Mississippi River including the confluence of the two longest rivers in the country (the Missouri and Mississippi), 75 sites including 62 rest areas and 17 camping areas, and three locks and dams. The trail spans two states, rural areas, and a large urban area at St Louis, Missouri. Since 2007, the MRWTA has coordinated volunteers and events on the river to ensure high quality and affordable recreational and educational opportunities and to promote safe public use of the trail.
