Where to Joe - USA Rivers?


USA Rivers
Rivers of the USA listing provided here covers many, but not all rivers that are available for tourist or boating or rafting explorations. Some are suitable for children, some for adults only, some for seniors, some have handicap provisions, some have snack areas, some have airport facilities, and some are totally out of the way and will require considerable effort to locate and tour.

Many rivers cross or on privately owned and operated lands; many cross county and state lines, and therefore these people or authorities  can set their hours, fees, and restrictions as deemed by the owners or managers; you should look up the river locations you want to explore from this listing, and do an Internet search for the latest available information.

There may be restrictions of fishing, boating, rafting, swimming, and canoeing and therefore, you need to check with the local authorities in the area.
