The river is ours. So if it’s ours, then it’s also our responsibility. I want my great grandchildren to see what I have seen. In 1993, the Red River received Wild & Scenic River Designation. Discover the incredible story of Joe Bowen and the magic of the Red River, in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act.
