Many wonderful float trips within a 30 minutes
drive from Grapevine Hollow.
Jacks Fork River
This is a 44-mile long, narrow winding stream flowing through deep valley
with no bottomland fields for the first 25 miles. A higher degree of
canoeing skill is required to float the Jacks Fork River. The section of the
river above Alley Spring is floatable only until early June, due to the low
water conditions after mid-May below Alley Spring to Two Rivers is floatable
year round on the Jacks Fork, and makes a good one-day canoe trip.
Current River
This is the most spring-fed of the Ozark rivers and can be floated year
round. There are numerous springs and caves on the Current River. Float
trips from three hours to seven days can be enjoyed on the Current River.
