The Ozark National Scenic Riverways was created by an Act of Congress to protect 134 miles of the Current &

Jacks Fork Rivers. The pristine waters of these two beautiful rivers provide excellent opportunities for canoeing, floating, swimming, and fishing. Seven major springs feed the rivers year-round. There are over 300 recorded caves within the park.

his relaxed community resembles the area’s other small farm and mining towns - except for the canoes and paddling gear that seem to be stacked in every corner. The town steps up to a bluff along the south bank of the Jacks Fork River, which flows into the Current a few miles east. Springs feed both of these clear, pristine streams.The two rivers form the 134-mile long Ozark National Scenic Riverways, which teem with float trippers. Visitors can rent canoes from outfitters. Limestone bluffs rise 200 feet above the easy course. You also pass flower-laced meadows, where you may spot deer.

eneath a coat of red paint, century-old Alley Spring flour mill rises serenely through the dense hardwoods above the blue-and-jade colored waters of a pond that’s filled by a natural spring. You can tour the mill Memorial Day through Labor Day. Exhibits and photos reveal the history of this Ozark landmark.

Andy P. Bales used to relate this story about a man who went to Heaven. Saint Peter met him at the Pearly Gates and was escorting him down the streets of gold. The man stopped, aghast at what he saw. There were many people chained up and he asked why. Saint Peter replied, “Oh, it’s springtime in the Ozarks and they all want to go home.”
