Inquire within. Paddle on. Easy as…find the flow…check milspaddled.com for the gauges and info…plan…go…rinse…repeat. Hate running shuttle?..me too. Fall rains are coming folks. Would love to schedule a Buffalo trip, BWCAW, Apostles, Voyageurs, Manistee, St. Croix…etc etc etc. Cheers.
Why don’t you come down to the Ozark Rendezvous this Fall. See the thread in this subforum. We have folks that come from the Madison area every year. Next Spring, we might well meet on the Buffalo in AR.
Which river(s) do you run while you’re down there? Open boaters?
Mostly open boaters. Some in kayaks. The beauty of the Missouri Ozarks are that there are lovely spring-fed rivers that can be run year round. In the Fall, the rivers and stretches that depend on natural flow are likely to be too low, but there have been exceptions. This Fall we will be on the Current River in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, camping at Pulltite Campground north of Eminence, MO. That river as well as the lower portion of the Jacks Fork (a tributary) are always runnable due to the springs. They are Class I rivers with some pleasant riffles.

Next Spring the odds are we will be at the Buffalo National River.
Love to do an Apostle Islands trip. Had a trip planned for last early last June but the weather conditions were rain. low 40’s winds 15mph - not conducive to a solo trek on Superior. went to BCAW instead.
