Friends of the Mississippi River

Sorry, no fundraising available
The Friends of the Mississippi River along with Rudy Luther Toyota Scion and Denny Hecker Toyota Scion are happy to bring you the Mississippi River Challenge, taking you on a one or two-day journey from Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park to Fort Snelling and/or Grey Cloud Island. You'll travel with voyageurs, paddle the only gorge on the Mississippi, and negotiate the cavernous St. Anthony and Ford Locks. At the Historic Fort Snelling overnight camp, you will enjoy a hearty meal provided in part by Thousand Hills Cattle Company and Whole Foods and celebrate with an evening of live music, historic reenactment, Summit beverages and revelry!

Thanks to our event sponsors, the funds raised through the Mississippi River Challenge directly support Friends of the Mississippi River's work to protect the River in the Twin Cites region. NEWSFLASH: We have secured a few more rental boats. If you're still in need of a boat, please call Kay at 651-222-2193 x19. Thank you.
