Our History

Over 35 years of experience servicing the Upper Mississippi

Established in 1984, Upper River Services has strived to become a premier commercial river harbor operation, while, at the same time, recognizing its responsibility as a member of the overall river community.  The result is a business with an economically solid foundation that protects and enhances, where and when it can, the ecosystem in which it exists.
