“I have not been on any river that has more of a distinctive personality than does the Missouri River. It’s a river that immediately presents to the traveler, ‘I am a grandfather spirit. I have a source, I have a life.'”
William Least Heat Moon

Who Are We?

Friends of the Missouri National Recreational River (FOMNRR) is the official nonprofit partner of the Missouri National Recreational River, working to support the stewardship, awareness, and enjoyment of this nationally significant stretch of the Missouri River.

Through education, outdoor activities, and community involvement, FOMNRR helps connect people of all ages to the river’s natural, cultural, and recreational resources.

With the support of members, sponsors, and volunteers, FOMNRR is able to strengthen park programs and ensure the Missouri National Recreational River remains a welcoming, high-quality place for learning, recreation, and enjoyment.

How You Can Get Involved

Imagine…

Imagine a river that carries you back in time to the untamed American West. A river where fish and wildlife remain healthy and abundant, and where solitude can still be found among the meandering channels and towering chalkstone bluffs.

The Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) is where that vision becomes reality.

This 100-mile stretch of the nation’s longest river is protected by the U.S. National Park Service and offers a place where the Missouri River’s wildness and natural beauty can still be experienced today.
