Hi all this might be a long shot but has anyone ran their boat on the Mississippi river? I usually run around on the Missouri river but my family and I are going to go over there for a three day weekend. I was curious if there's anything to look out for or if the water level is stupid high right now, and if it is will there still be any sand bars?

Ok cool I appreciate the info I was gonna get out on the Missouri this weekend, and it's super high too but didn't know if the Mississippi was about the same.

I dont know where  you are at or where you were wanting to go on the Mississippi but me and brian ( stewie5409 ) are in missouri. And we are in what they call the Alton Boating Pool whis is one of the most active boating pools on the Mississippi river. The alton boating pool covers from below the winfield dam to the alton dam. And both brian and myself are very active boaters out there and run the Mississippi quite a bit. And like he said, it is still pretty high and personally, my boat will not be going out anytime soon. Or atleast until it drops some more.

Here is a recent picture of the Mississippi. The picture is in grafton of the grafton river road. There is a 2 week difference between the pictures. The river is now in its banks but still quite high

The river is junk and will be for a bit. So far boating season sucks in Missouri.
