Within these pages you will find information on the various whitewater runs that can be found in Missouri. All of the information within this site is based on my own personal experiences and/or that of my friends. Feel free to use this information when planning your next whitewater adventure, but remember as a boater, you are responsible for your own actions. All information in this site should be used simply as a reference. Good personal judgement should always be the determining factor when running whitewater. This website assumes no responsibility for the judgments made based on the information contained herein.

Creeks are runnable only after significant rain fall (ie. flood stage). Hazards include, but are not limited to, strainers, low water bridges (nasty pourovers at some levels), and narrow passages with tight turns. Be cautious, and paddle with someone that is familiar with these creeks! It is advisable to wear nose-plugs and be aware that the water quality is poor. Cases of Leptospirosis have been reported from paddlers playing on these creeks.
