Quapaw Canoe Company has been selected as the 2011 Business of the Year by the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi . And no wonder, aside from leading fabulous canoe trips along the Mississippi River, John Ruskey and his Mighty Quapaw River Guide Apprentices have also developed
Wild Miles and the Lower Mississippi Mississippi River Foundation. They are partners in Friends of the Sunflower River, the Save Buck Island Campaign, the 1Mississippi Project and the Lower Mississippi River Water Trail.
