UMRA Autumn Riverboat Cruise
Thu, September 8 2022, 5pm
UMRA Social event
Harriet Island Regional Park
There is no better way to celebrate the beginning of a new UMRA program year than by taking a glorious sightseeing cruise on the Mississippi River. Meet new members, reconnect with old friends, and enjoy a taco bar with two-for-one margaritas.
Our autumn cruise will be on the Betsey Northrup out of Harriet Island Regional Park in St. Paul. The main deck is enclosed and air conditioned. The upper deck is open-air with a canopy and seating. There is free parking on Harriet Island adjacent to the landing. *
Boarding starts at 5 p.m. The taco bar opens and the boat departs at 6 p.m.
Joining us on the cruise will be two U of M experts who can tell you everything there is to know about the river. Patrick Nunnally, coordinator of the U’s River Life program, and Jay Bell, a professor in the Department of Soil, Water, and Climate, will mingle with UMRA members and be available for questions and conversation.
