Join us in 2023 to Paddle MO to support the Missouri Stream Team Watershed Coalition!
Join Missouri Stream Teams for unique, educational journeys along some of Missouri's great rivers. Along the way, historical and scientific experts join paddlers to share about the history and ecology of the rivers.
For Paddle MO trips, we are your ground crew! Just bring a boat and your gear, and we take care of the rest. If you don't have a boat, boats are available to rent and we can help you find one!
Paddle MO 2023 dates:
Paddle MO was created in partnership with Magnificent Missouri in 2016. Paddle MO trips serve as a fundraiser for Stream Teams United so that we can continue our work for education, stewardship, and advocacy for Missouri's great rivers and streams. Through our Paddle MO educational trips, we work to increase knowledge of our river systems, provide opportunities for people to connect with our state's rivers, and build the culture of river conservation in Missouri.
In 2019, Stream Teams United, with partnership of the LAD Foundation, expanded the Paddle MO program to include a 25-mile educational paddle on the Upper Current River, our nation's first National Scenic Riverway.
In 2022, Stream Teams United expanded the Paddle MO program to two new sections of rivers, the Missouri River at Kansas City and the James River south of Springfield, MO! In 2023, we are excited to paddle from Missouri's state capitol (Jefferson City) to the state's first capitol (St. Charles)!

“A well organized, comprehensive trip down the Missouri River! The educational activities really added to the experience. It was lovely to have the food catered and shuttle buses toting us and our gear. Met lots of fun people and the more experience paddlers were always there to help me, when needed. I felt very safe on the river.” – 2018 Paddler
