The wonderful Missouri scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The river winds through the Ozarks and you get great scenery. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's good length for a morning trip. Crane Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the County Road 13-130 to low-water bridge off Highway AA section is the only one. This section of Crane Creek in Missouri is 6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I section. |

The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are
| good for beginners. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came.
