My dad use to be caretaker at keyes canoe rental and campground before it was ozark outdoors. We lived at the entrance of the campground . As a kid we took all the floats we wanted . I love this ten mile stretch. Makes me miss home and brought back some wonderful memories. I appreciate this so much .
I don't know how old you are or how familiar with this section of the river you may be ..but has the meramec gotten smaller over the last several years ?
Nevermind i see hinch rock at the 16 minute mark. I dont remember the other place at the 8 minute mark i dont guess. I recall every year someone drowning or injured at hinch rock .
