River Management Roundtables
Each month on the second and fourth Tuesday, RMS hosts facilitated discussions where we work together to tackle common issues that you may currently be facing on your river. We invite everyone who works on and for rivers (members and non-members) to join, ask questions and share solutions! We welcome suggestions for relevant topics and invite you to present on your areas of expertise.

River Access Planning and Design
If you're in the process of designing or improving your river access or boat launch, the following resources are for you! These were developed by RMS in partnership with several other organizations, and we periodically host training to help you utilize these resources on your river: River Access Planning Guide, Prepare to Launch!, and The Good, the Bad, and the Unusual: What Makes a Boating Access Work (or Not)? Within these resources, you'll discover best practices, field worksheets, and examples.

Water Trails Management
Water Trail managers, volunteers, and partners, here you will find best practices, tools, example plans, and economic studies to support your work. Whether you're advocating for a new trail, working with private landowners, or designing new access points, this page is for you!

River Visitor Use
When traffic increases on rivers, processes become necessary so the experience is fun, inspiring, and safe for both the resource itself and those who enjoy it. Here, you will find articles and reports that provide guidance as you allocate resources among increasingly larger user groups.
