I posted this is another Canoe river thread
but people actually do canoe the whole thing
Me and my stepbrother came across a guy on a canoe with a tent and some other camping supplies and he said he takes off 30 days a year and put in up in IL and goes the whole way down to the gulf. We thought he was lost or needing help but nah, he was as happy as can be in southern Arkansas

The biggest obstacles on the UMR are the locks and dams and when the river freezes during the winter up there

Back around 1984 the brother of a girlfriend I had when I lived in Saint Paul, Minnesota Canoed from as far north on the Mississippi as he could start at the headwaters all the way down.
That’s all I got.

A year earlier he and friends tried to set the world speed record, via powerboat, from one end of the Mississippi to the other. Next, he is considering a search for Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat in Turkey, and a crossing of the Arctic by dogsled to plant an LSU flag on the North Pole.
So 0 for 4. Not great Dale. And never found Bigfoot either.
I guess you cant knock him for dreaming big though.

There's baws that start in Minnesota. Those are the real OG's.
I sailed from Mobile to Metairire one time and it took me three days and i had a kitchen, bathroom and bed and it was rough. I couldn't imagine canoeing it.
