Description
(St. Francis tributary) Two shut-ins, boulder gardens, shoals, and steep bluffs make this clear-water stream a popular run. MoCreekin’ has some good info about this and other creek runs in Missouri. _A Canoeing & Kayaking Guide to the Ozarks_ (formerly _Ozark Whitewater_) by Tom Kennon (3rd edition, Menasha Ridge Press) has a good description of the run. _A Paddler’s Guide to Missouri_ (Missouri Department of Conservation, 2003), an updated version of _Missouri Ozark Waterways_ by Oz Hawksley, has good maps.
