Zak Rivers, Photographer, Filmmaker & Musician
Last June, Mankato native Zak set out on a remarkable journey with the goal of paddling the entire 2,340 miles of the Mississippi River from its headwaters at Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico. With his canoe, camera and cello in tow, Zak has documented his experiences through music and film, sharing his adventure along the way. His past project “Greybeard: The Man, The Myth, The Mississippi,” is a documentary about the oldest person to complete a source-to-sea paddle of the river. Hear firsthand about Zak’s extraordinary journey, the people he met, the music he played and the stories he captured along one of America’s most iconic waterways.
