This Clear Missouri Waterway is Perfect for Floating

Float trips are wonderful things full of memories and learning opportunities. Missouri is loaded with places to put in and get away from everything. Meramec, Huzzah, Jacks Fork, Current or Big Piney just to rattle of a few.

Whether as a large group or a pair or even just you in a kayak, Missouri float trips are special. What if you have someone who is natural water averse? Meaning they only want to get into water or be surrounded by water that has a managed Ph balance that you can see under?

Even if she doesn't like the outdoors, Missouri rivers are special.

The Black River south of the Mark Twain National Forest running down to Clearwater Lake gives you float trip on clear water with a rock bottom. It won’t smell like chlorine, but it’s clear and mostly shallow (depending upon rain).

There are places to camp and cabins to rent along the Black River’s length and there is also several Lodges to try should “roughing” it be too much.

Picturesque is a good word to describe floating down the rivers of Missouri. There are charming vistas and quaint views along with some that you’ll want to pause the moment for. Everyone has their favorite place. Maybe the Black River checks most or all of your boxes. If you haven’t been, make plans to float Missouri.
