Big Muddy Speaker Series presents:

Mary Culler dives deep into the history and purpose of the Paddle MO experience. Stunning sites, educational talks and great paddling company.

Mary Culler dove deep into the history and purpose of Stream Teams United's Paddle MO experience. Paddle MO is a five-day, educational and recreational journey on the last 100 miles of the Missouri River, beginning at Hermann, MO, and ending a mile past the confluence with the Mississippi River. It provides a great opportunity for beginners and experts alike to get out and see a new side of the river.

In 2016, Stream Teams United, non-profit partners, and Missouri Stream Team volunteers launched the first Paddle MO expedition from Hermann to the Confluence. This year marks the organization’s 8^th year of planning and hosting paddlers both new and old on Paddle MO.

During the presentation, Mary took a retrospective look at why and how Paddle MO was developed, shared stories from across the 8 years of adventuring on the River, and gave attendees a glimpse of what they might expect if they join a future Paddle MO program. She highlighted the team that makes this one-of-a-kind journey possible and discussed how the Paddle MO program has grown to include destinations across our Great Rivers State.
