Mississippi Park Connection and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, in collaboration with Fearless Comedy Productions, are bringing an immersive murder mystery theatrical experience to life, Mystery of the Mississippi. Join the hosts of "Monsters of the Mississippi," a theatrical experience about mythical monsters on and near the Mississippi River. Was the victim killed by a giant walking catfish or is the culprit a little less sensational? The mystery will unfold as you walk through Crosby Farm and you can help figure out who was responsible!

This guided tour with National Park Service rangers and Three Rivers Park District staff starts just downstream of the Coon Rapids Dam. Free shuttle service back to Mississippi Gateway Regional Park after your paddle is provided by Three Rivers Park District.

Get up close with a heron rookery (nesting birds may or may not be present), spot bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and other wildlife as you kayak down the Mississippi River. You will also pass by the Upper Harbor Terminal Project site, several industries on the river, the Lowry Avenue Bridge, and the iconic Boom Island lighthouse, with the Minneapolis skyline as your backdrop.

Note: Nesting birds at the rookery typically leave by the end of July.

Make a commitment to yourself by waking up Saturday morning immersed in nature. Release the week's stress back into the soil and nourish the land with energy. Join Mississippi Park Connection and yoga teachers from Peace in Practice down at Crosby Farm Regional Park in Saint Paul for a morning of release and renewal.
