The beautiful scenery of St. Francois Washington Jefferson County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Missouri you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so don't forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
