This stretch is very short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The sections for whitewater
    rafting and kayaking here in Missouri are often more forgiving than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The Highway M west of Ironton stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. Whether
you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. Whitewater paddling here in the Ozarks is a great experience. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
