Mississippi River Paddle Adventure

This Spring paddle adventure is sure to be full of wildlife and bird viewing and amazing views as we paddle the backwaters and tributaries of the Mississippi Flyway during peak migration. Did you know that nearly half of the bird species in North America use the Mississippi Flyway during Spring migration? What an exciting time to explore!

We’ll stay in a beautiful cabin in Lynxville, WI with a stunning view of the river, eat delicious meals made from scratch and enjoy great company! We plan to paddle each day of the trip, exploring both the Iowa and Wisconsin sides of the Mississippli river, as well as the Reno Bottoms Canoe Trail*. Upon returning to the cabin each evening,enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub overlooking the river! 

*Exact paddling locations are dependent on weather and river conditions.
