About the River

• “So, how is the Mississippi River?” It’s a question we get asked quite often and it can be hard to know how to respond. We wanted to find out how to answer that question accurately, and we knew a lot of people would be interested. So FMR and the National Park Service teamed up to develop the State of the River Report. 

• The Mississippi River is ever-changing. Chart its seasons and learn about the plant-life and creatures that call our great river home with FMR conservation staff's monthly phenology feature. 

• How well do you know the metro-area stretch of the Mississippi? Challenge yourself with FMR river corridor advocacy staff's monthly Whose View? From Where?
