The area just had yet another Flash Flood Warning put onto it,with another heavy rainmaker Tuesday. Supposed to clear up Wednesday. With any luck the river will be good and clear for your float!

They were getting rain over that way just a little bit ago!

Excellent! As of Friday they have started minimum flow at Bull Shoals Dam. I'm looking forward to seeing how much it raises the water levels.

Went out Friday afternoon and floated the dam to White Hole on 3 units. Saw someone with a nice Raft at WH. It took us a little under 2 hours to float it. How was Wildcat on 2 units?

With any luck! I ran quite a bit of Hwy 65 on Saturday around Harrison and it was killing me seeing all the canoes and kayaks on the road.

It kinda sucks.. I had to work yesterday or else I would have loved to have met up with all of you. Especially since its an hour from my house.

Kinda sucks..I live 5 miles from Kelly's and float it pretty often,but I won't be able to make it this Saturday.

Mitch is correct on his points. The last prescribed burns in the area were around 10 years ago. Since then we have had severe storms,tornadoes, and one real nasty ice storm that has made the fuel load massive and in need of burning.

I could be mistaken(and probably am!!) but the Wilderness area lies on the Baxter County side and extends from the mouth upstream to Big Creek. And you sir are correct about smoke. If you have and respiratory ailments you may want to call and see if any active burning is going on. I just came back f...

You guys beat me to it!! Just talked to one of the fireground supervisors and he told me that info. That's some good news.

Starting in about an hour the NPS and AFC will begin burning between 11,000 and 14,000 acres from just downstream of Rush to the confluence of the White. If you're planning a trip in the next few days you may call ahead to make sure the river isn't closed.

Hey Trent,I'm an hour from Branson.. Where are some good creeks up that way?

Seth; I'm mainly used to pretty calm water but recently bought a Liquid Logic CR 125 and plan on working on some Class II and III.

Thanks for the info guys! If anyone ever makes it up this way to hit the Buffalo or White give me a shout, I'd love to meet up.

New here and to the sport and wondering if there were any paddlers that frequent the North Central part of the state? I'm in Marion county about 20 minutes from the Buffalo and can be knee deep in Crooked Creek( if it has water) in 5 minutes! Looking to hook up and do some floating when the temps ri...
