No canoeing experience is required for this trip. You must however, be an experienced camper. You also need to be mentally prepared for an “expedition-style” trip of 2-3 weeks on the water.

Downstream trips require a shuttle for an additional fee/person.

Quapaw Canoe Company will provide canoes and all safety gear, as well as dry bags for each participant.

Quapaw Canoe Company can provide lunches, dinners, and breakfasts for each day of the journey upon request, for an additional fee/day. Meals are cooked fresh on an open fire.

In addition “Expedition-style” trips, due to their nature will be completely custom and require more advanced planning, and coordination. Get on the calendar early!
