This is our most popular trail, and is perfect for all types of kayakers. With the BisMan Paddler Route, you can explore the Missouri River flowing through the boundary between North Dakota’s capital city, Bismarck, and its neighbor city, Mandan. On this trail, you’ll travel downstream (North to South) starting in Misty Waters Marina, Bismarck and ending at the Fox Island Boat Ramp. This sought-after trip is typically completed in 2-4 hours... However, if you want to go slow and relax, feel free to take your time by stopping at a sandbar, a local restaurant/bar along the way, or just moving at a slower pace. No rush.

Shuttle Price: $50 per group
