Community Canoe — Montezuma Island Adventure, Saturday Sept 3

The Montezuma Island Adventure is a roundtrip voyageur canoe paddle on the biggest river in North America, the Mighty Mississippi, involving a tour of an archipelago of Mississippi River Islands with big beaches, swim holes, birds, turtles, and other wildlife.  This round trip paddle affords an incredible variety of giant sandbars, wetlands, gravel/fossil bars, deep willow forests, and miles of beaches to swim from or walk along.  So — a little bit of everything!  Montezuma was created by the 1837 sinking of the steamboat by the same name.  It is found above Kangaroo Point, about halfway in between Friars Point and Helena, AR.

Meet at 1pm at Montezuma Landing.  Pack your own snacks and water.  Dress for weather.  Don’t forget sun protection.  No previous experience necessary, all paddle together in our big canoes with guides.  But must be willing to paddle — sometimes hard paddling necessary.  Return to land around 5pm.
