Book Review: Bicycling Guide to the Mississippi River Trail

The Only Guidebook for the Mississippi River Trail

When cyclists think of crossing the country on bike, perhaps one of the major east-west touring routes comes to mind first.

However, it would be a big mistake to overlook the Mississippi River trail, a marked bike route that follows the historic river on its 2,000 mile course from Itasca State Park, where the river's headwaters are found in northern Minnesota all the way down to where the Mississipi enters the Gulf of Mexico at the southernmost point in Louisiana.

To help guide fellow travelers on their own version of this epic trip, author and cyclist Bob Robinson has compiled the Bicycling Guide to the Mississippi River Trail.
