The fee is $30 per cart for two participants on a tour. Riders may pay by credit card or check made payable to River Action, the river advocacy organization said.
These guided golf cart tours of riverfront trails on both sides of the Mississippi are a way to gain knowledge on the past, present, and future of riverfront development. Riders must register. Space is limited. Register by mail or online at www.riveraction.org/golfcarttour.
