St. Francis River
15 miles away
As it gets warm, there are cottonmouth's hanging from every tree branch.  There is also a mine which drains toxic chemicals into the river....St. Francis vacation, late April 2007 As far as I'm concerned this is one of my favorite rivers. It's like it's a whole new river at different water levels. We camped here for 11 days straight. Great campgrounds, and great water. We could live here....

Lower Rock Creek
18 miles away
Been here and there is not a good put-in site for a boat.  The creek is one mile from where you can park a car unless it's right next to the St Francis river and that means you won't be kayaking down this creek.  Which is impossible unless there is serious rainfall....

Little St. Francis River
19 miles away
In July and August temperatures frequently hit the high 90's and occasionally low 100's; water levels in many stretches are below 1 (one) foot....

21 miles away

St. Francis River
28 miles away
It's awesome....

Big Creek
29 miles away
I kayaked the big creek May 5 at 3ft from Des Arc to Sam A. Baker take out at 143 bridge, it was an 11 mile float and very enjoible for Missouri waters. There were whitewater sections about every 1/4 mile and was all under class II, the rock gardens kept me on my toes but was not difficult at all. I would recomend trying this creek (river) to anyone seeking excitment and is not to experienced to try the St. Francis. Cheers!...
