Camping on the Mississippi River Bank
You can learn a lot when you decide to canoe down the Mississippi River. At every bend you will find so much cultural and natural history. See in your mind-s eye the life of settlers who where here long ago. Watch above as the eagles soar or see the mink on the side of the river. The entire 2,350 miles on the Mississippi River has plenty of wildlife and high cliffs to keep you amazed. This is a magnificent river trip for experienced or first time paddlers to enjoy.
Some of the best things to remember when taking a canoe or kayak trip would be to have a life jacket, plenty of water, and a map of where you are going. It would also be a good idea to let other people know what route you will be taking in case something happens and you can-t get in touch with anyone. Let them know when you should be arriving at your destination. This way, if you don-t show up or contact them upon arrival, they can contact the proper authorities.
Remember, by having the right equipment and planning ahead, you will have a fun and safe trip on the river.
