Let's Paddle the Current River in Missouri!

Beautiful water, springs, bluffs, gravel bars, wild horses, and tons of wildlife are just a few of the things we'll see while paddling in Missouri. Come on out and see what the Root Wad Squad is up to.

The picture above is a spring that you can paddle into (Cave Spring). How cool is that?

NOTE: All times are Eastern. Most of us are from this time zone so I just stick with it.

We're heading over to Missouri to paddle a few sections of the Current river and maybe get a little hiking in as well. Our first night we'll be meeting at Pulltite campground in Salem, MO. I've reserved primitive campsites 36, 38, and 40. They are right on the river. If you would like to join me on one of the sites that I have reserved, please contact me. We're planning on hitting the water around 9am each day and our daily paddling adventures will be approximately 4-5 hours. This will leave us plenty of time for other activities.

DETAILS:

NOTE!
I'VE ADDED TWO ADDITIONAL DAY TO THIS ADVENTURE! We normally drive all that way for 4 days. This time I decided to add two more days. I will still be running the usual 3 paddling events.

Day 1 Friday: Meet at Pulltite Campground in Salem, MO. Some of us are meeting early and driving the area to check out the water levels and see what sections will be the best for us to paddle. Dinner at a local restaurant (Dairy Shack for a Rootwad!) if anyone is interested. Also, Maggi generally has a ton of pamphlets for the surrounding areas for everyone.

Days 2&3 Saturday and Sunday: These are days to do what you want. Explore the area, sit at the campsite and relax, bring a beach chair and sit in the river next to our campsites, etc. There are tons of places in the area to explore. Group events are on the table as well. We'll figure it out.

Days 4-6 Monday through Wednesday: We'll figure out what sections we'll be paddling over the weekend. I would like to do our usual two sections with caves and springs. I would love to try a new section of the Current or potentially Jack's Fork or 11 Point rivers. Regardless of what we decide, we'll have an awesome day in beautiful terrain.

Day 7 Thursday: Wake up, tear down camp, hit brunch somewhere, go home... Or maybe a little adventure before we head home?

Please bring everything you'll need to enjoy a safe and adventurous weekend on this National Park operated river. For those joining me on my campsites, we'll settle up at the campground once we figure out how many people will be sharing.
