The Missouri River is NOT closed in St Joseph, although that could happen soon.

The U.S. Coast Guard has closed a portion of the river to all vessel traffic from the Missouri-Iowa border north to the Gavins Point Dam in Yankton, South Dakota.

At the current time, there are no restrictions on recreational boat traffic on the Missouri River near St Joseph.  As river levels rise, that situation could change.
