TN – MS – AK – Rivergator Expedition: Memphis to Helena

The Quapaw Canoe Company will be guiding an exploratory adventure down the Lower Mississippi from Memphis to Helena, Arkansas. These two great river towns are connected by a beautiful stretch of river. Highlights will be Buck Island, where in 1820 John James Audubon saw bears running wild; the Josie Harry Bar, named for the steamboat that went down in 1883; and Cat Island, the biggest and wildest island in this stretch of river. Cat Island’s diverse landscape, full of hardwood forests, floodplain fields, sandbars, and even red cedars make for supreme camping.
The trip will map and photograph the river as a part of the creation of the Lower Mississippi River Water Trail – “The Rivergator” – a paddler’s guide that will stretch from the Missouri River Confluence down to the Gulf.
