Jacks Fork River Kayak & Canoe Camping - Day 3

Join me and my buddies, Wes & Grey, as we paddled and camp down 49 miles of the Jacks Fork River near Eminence, Missouri. We finish our trip today with a short 6.5-mile paddle. I wasn't ready for it to end, but I will be back! #camping #kayaking

Love that river. Floated from Alley Springs to 2 rivers a couple of times. We swim at Buck Hollow. Right where it goes under the highway 17 bridge. Gonna retire in that area the end of next year. I'd like to camp on the sand bar where it runs into the current river.

[@SouthernPaddler]

How awesome! I think I could retire there, too. So many great rivers and such beauty in the Ozarks. What an amazing area! Thank you!!

[@obeewanderlow-key4916]

Great trip! Think I'm gonna need to plan a trip out to Missouri sometime and check these rivers out

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thanks, Eric! Yes, you would LOVE these rivers! They are so beautiful (and fun) and predominantly remote. I highly recommend Jacks Fork, Current and Buffalo National (Arkansas).

[@OzarkMediaCo]

I saw that Big Piney can! (can't sneak a good brew past me). Always got to have the local flavor on the river!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Ha, ha - when in Rome (Missouri)! Lol! It was good as was the whole trip!! Had someone mention the Niangua recently. With your vid that's two plugs for that river! :-)

[@OzarkMediaCo]

@@SouthernPaddler I'm very nearby, reach out if you'd like any help planning or a fellow paddler!

[@SouthernPaddler]

@OzarkMediaCo Will do- thanks so much!! 👍👊

[@ProjectScissor-TailAdven-ee3uv]

Always bring some Log Boat Brewing (out of Columbia) on our trips. Every time I make a trip home to Missouri we always stock up.

[@t20sgrunt36]

Good stuff. Did ya ever get to see any Elk or the Wild Horses?

[@SouthernPaddler]

Thank you very much! We didn't on this river, but we did the Current River for 5 days right before this trip and saw a herd of wild horses at Round Spring. We saw one elk on the Buffalo National River trip in Arkansas that we did last year in March. The Ozarks are an incredible place!!

[@LIVE4THEADVENTURE]

Hey I watched all 3 videos and what a beautiful River! I’m wanting to float the same section as you! Do you have a phone number that shuttles you? Thanks and great video!!

[@SouthernPaddler]

Awesome!! You will love this section- it's one of my all-time favorites!! Yes, we used Two Rivers Canoe Rental for our shuttle. Their number is [phone].

[@SouthernPaddler]

Oh, and let me know how it goes!!
