A special thanks to our 2024 sponsors:

We all have a common history linked to the Mississippi River. With each new trail connection, new public access to the riverfront, and new visual link to the Mighty Mississippi, we become more united. River Action remains committed to helping establish those connections - physical, visual, and philosophical - to our common riverfront and our common future. If you'd like to continue the momentum of our united RiverWay, please consider renewing your membership or joining as a new member of River Action. With your help we can continue to achieve great things in the coming years! Learn more at RiverAction.org/WhatWeDo.
