Missouri State Parks consists of 93 state parks and historic sites, many of which offer opportunities for paddling. Join us for an overview of paddling options within Missouri State Parks. Justin and Todd both have ties to the Upper Current River region and will focus on paddling opportunities between Montauk State Park and Echo Bluff State Park on the legendary Current River.

The MR340 is the world's longest non-stop river race stretching 340 miles on the MIssouri River. Racers begin in Kansas City, Ks where the Kaw River joins the Missouri, and paddle across the great state of Missouri finishing in St. Charles, MO. Racers must reach 5 checkpoints by the established times or they will be disqualified. The Missouri American Water MR340 is a true community event - a community created by the river. To witness the determination of the racers, the grit of the ground crews and the hospitality of the volunteers is a truly inspiring thing. The race is hosted by Missouri River Relief, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting people to the Missouri River through stewardship, education and recreation. Many racers describe the race as life-changing, most agree it is a grueling test of determination, planning, a little luck and a lot of paddling! Join race director Steve Schnarr and first time finisher Justin Adams, as they provide their experiences and insights into this great adventure.
