Mississippi Water Trail

The first third of the Mississippi River is all in the state of Minnesota. Being the awesome outdoors state that it is, Minnesota has designated the entire 700+ miles that the river runs through the state as a Water Trail. The Minnesota DNR has a great website that has detailed PDF maps of the water trail on their web site https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/watertrails/mississippiriver/index.html. For those of you wanted to follow along on my journey, these maps will be a great resource. I’ll be sure to reference river mile numbers on my blog posts so you can where I am.
