Quapaw Canoe Company: your gateway to the wild places of the Lower Mississippi River! “Where the Wild things Are!”

Sharing the Quapaw Canoe Company Fall 2023 Calendar — and beyond (into Fall 2024).  

For instance our popular Community Canoe Trips restart next month in Sept (in partnership with Lower Mississippi River Foundation).

We'll be celebrating "Green Friday" with the Mississippi River State Park on Friday following Thanksgiving.

Also, a couple of exciting long-distance expeditions, such as Marquette & Jolliet 350th Anniversary and Month-long Mississippi/Red River Homecoming Expedition.  (Red River of the South.  Flexible schedule.  Sign up for as long as you want!)
