How many river miles on the Mississippi River from St. Paul MN to Memphis TN?

412 miles. Confusion in the previous answer is due to missing the change between the Upper Mississippi/Lower Mississippi markers.
Memphis Yacht Club is at Lower Mississippi River Marker #736 (736 miles from the Gulf of Mexico). 217 miles up river the Lower Mississippi changes to the Upper Mississippi at Cairo (Marker #953/0). The Missouri River on the North side of St. Louis enters the Upper Mississippi at marker #195 (195 miles north of Cairo). 217 + 195 = 412 miles.
As a side note, the Mississippi River current travels at about 1.2 knots (1.38 mph). So if you want to float down the Mississippi River from St.Louis to Memphis, give yourself about 12.5 days + stops. As there are only 2 fuel depots along the way, and one is a, "call ahead an I'll meet you at the old barge", no matter what you leave St. Louis on - it might turn into a raft before Memphis.
