Locations
You can book your Mississippi River adventure through our locations in Clarksdale, Vicksburg, or Memphis
-
Clarksdale
Home base Clarksdale, MS, is the original location established in 1998, and centered in the wildest section of the entire Mississippi River, with the biggest islands and greatest concentration of wildlife.
Clarksdale, MS is a town full of art and music, and it is where we fashion our unique hand-crafted 29′ cypress strip voyageur canoes from scratch.
Clarksdale is the home of our day-to-day operations. When we’re not out on the river, we might be building canoes, creating artwork, inspiring young minds with our apprenticeship programme, training up new guides, planning and packing for the next adventure or running one of our many community events and workshops
