FLOAT TRIPS & FISHING
Current River: Fast current, lots of natural springs, gorgeous scenery, cold water, great fishing. We love Acres Ferry Canoe & Kayak Rental (40 min drive) and fishing at Montauk State Park (30 min drive). Fishing license and gear available at Montauk. They also have a great restaurant with amazing breakfast!
​
Jack's Fork River: Clear water, great for swimming & float trips, beautiful scenery. We love Windy's Canoe & Kayak Rental in Eminence! Give yourself about 2 hours to get there, get unloaded, use the facilities, get ice etc., and make your float time.
Make sure to stop by Rocky Falls and Alley Spring!
We love to eat at the Dairy Shack in Eminence!
​
Meramec River: Great swimming river, slow moving, great for beginners. We love Huzzah Valley Canoes & Kayaks!
Belmont Vineyards is on your way back to the campground and they make amazing brick oven pizza and wine slushies!
