The From Highway 67 section of Big River is 73 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I section. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Missouri are often easier than in other states, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so make sure you pack enough food |
along with your camping gear. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Big River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the From Highway 67 stretch is the only one.
