Great Rivers Rendezvous

Come join a FUN, recreational paddle on the Mississippi River for the Great Rivers Rendezvous organized by the Mississippi River Water Trail Association (MRWTA).

Choose from THREE launch points depending on the distance you would like to paddle- 3 miles starting from Alta Villa, 7 miles starting from Piasa Harbor, and 12 miles starting from Hideaway Harbor. Participants on all routes will be accompanied by trained safety boaters from paddling organizations associated with the Missouri Paddling Coalition (MOPADCO).

Participants will finish at the 18th Annual Mississippi Earthtones Festival at Alton Riverfront Park. The Mississippi Earthtones Festival is a celebration of our river through art, music, and conservation.
