This is one of the most iconic trips. Retrace the steps of the Lewis and Clark Expedition by bike and boat.

Spoked Adventures will lead you on an all-inclusive overnight bike camping and canoe trip to Mosenthein Island. Cycle up to Columbia Bottom Conservation Area, hop in a canoe and paddle down to the island. After an amazing night on the island, board the canoe and paddle down the Mississippi River landing on the steps of The Gateway Arch.

Our staff provide mechanical support for the bicycle rides, transport all of your gear, navigate the river route with Big Muddy Adventures, prepare meals and share loads of education about the beautiful Missouri landscape. We’ve carefully designed this, and all of our adventures, to be safe and approachable for all comfort levels. Our guides have years of experience. Sit back and enjoy the ride. We’ll handle all of the fine details.
