The Mississippi River has been a source of recreation for many generations. People have long enjoyed its beauty and marveled at its power.

This is more true than ever today. Boating, hiking, and bird watching all draw people to the river. In 1988, the federal government recognized the importance of the river's recreational appeal by designating a 72-mile stretch of the river as the Mississippi River and Recreational Area.

Safety and Stewardship
The Mississippi is a large and powerful river. Boaters should always take safety precautions when enjoying river outings.

Boating at high speeds causes wakes, or wave action, that contribute to shoreline erosion and disturb the river habitat. Responsible boating can preserve the river for both the people who enjoy it and the plants and wildlife that depend on it.
