Missouri's Elk River

The scenic Elk River is a favorite float destination with canoeists providing excellent camping and fishing. The Pineville to Noel float is best in mid to late summer. You'll find unobstructed rapids, regular waves and easy eddies.

Difficulty: Mostly class II, seldom over.

Indian Creek & Big Sugar

Suitable mainly for spring floats with some of the best general gradients in the Ozarks. The gradients are steady and provide a fast run through relatively undisturbed countryside.

Difficulty: II and III, due to brush, logs and turns.
