CLASS IV+ 1.4 miles

If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The natural beauty of Madison County and the cool fresh water beats anything. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from
the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The beauty of the Ozarks is a great plus for this river. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This stretch is very short so it's not like you're gonna spend
hours on the river in one stretch. The starting point is not too far from Farmington, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
