Explore the Beauty and Adventure of the Niangua River!
The Niangua River is renowned for its breathtaking bluffs, thrilling technical sections, and excellent fishing opportunities. While it tends to get crowded with party-goers during the summer, the offseason unveils its true potential for adventure. We went kayak camping for 3 days from Bennett Spring to Leadmine boat ramp.
Sometimes, revisiting a familiar river can rekindle memories and evoke past experiences. However, our recent float down the Niangua felt refreshingly new and novel, as if it was an adventure meant just for us.
Join us on a unique journey to experience the Niangua like few ever have - as we've never seen it before, on a perfect 3-day trip into the Ozark paradise.
Elea and I ride in NuCanoe kayaks, the Flint and Pursuit. Andrew was in an Eddyline Caribbean.
Unfortunately, the Niangua has gained a reputation for attracting large crowds of partiers, especially near Bennett Spring, where raft rental services drop off busloads of people. But if you plan your visit during the week or after Labor Day, you may discover the river all to yourself.
While our initial day on the water was leisurely, it didn't prepare us for what lay ahead. By Day three, we encountered technical Class II rapids every half hour, which may sound manageable until you factor in a toddler, a dog, and three days' worth of feasts.
