Black River Float Trips and Canoe
Liveries
Driving time from the
DragonFly-In: 20 minutes
Located a short distance west from the
DragonFly-In Bed & Breakfast is the beautiful Black
River. Its waters are perhaps the most crystal clear
of any float stream in the Missouri Ozarks. Numerous
liveries there can provide canoes, kayaks, rafts, or tubes
for floats of any length from only a mile to more than
twenty, lasting for as short as a few hours or as long as
several days. The stream is floatable even in the
driest summers, and passes among forested hills and
limestone bluffs.
Even novice canoeists will find the
chutes and riffles sporting but not challenging. Along
the way, the clear waters and gravel bars are ideal for
swimming, snorkeling, and picnicking. Several cave
entrances invite short explorations. Fishermen will
find abundant smallmouth bass and goggle-eye, although wary
due to the clarity of the water, so skills will be
tested.
All the details of your float trip can
be prearranged at the DragonFly-In. The
liveries will schedule transport from your pickup point back
to your site of departure. Their office stores can
also provide supplies including food, beverages, coolers,
and sunscreen in case our guests had not planned such an
outing in advance.
