The 44-Mile Long Lazy River In Missouri Where You’ll Find Us All Summer Long
In a state infamous for the muddy Mississippi, discovering a pristine, blue, lazy river in Missouri to spend your summer days might be a pleasant surprise. What makes this lazy river special is how untouched it feels by commercial development and tourism. There are numerous public access points and designated float camps where you can stay on the river. While you may encounter pockets of fellow floaters on the Eleven Point River, the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System classifies this gem as a “low-use” river, ensuring a serene experience.
Most travelers stay in nearby campgrounds like the ones at Hufstedlers or in small towns like West Plains, Missouri. Why not book your whole stay with Hufstedlers for your watercraft rental and take advantage of their camping and cabin offerings? You are definitely going to need some quality gear for your personal use, whether you want to use their equipment or not. This area of Missouri is rural, so come prepared! If you’ve ever floated down this lazy river in Missouri, share your experience with us in the comments.
