North Fork River Info
The kayak trip we took in October 2012:
39.4 Blair Bridge Access on left, on County Road H-354 off Hwy. KK.
39.9 Private campground on right.
40.9 Spring Creek on left, is fed by numerous springs, none of them large. It has a gradient of 14 on the 6 miles above its mouth but access to it is poor except at the Duncan Ford 2.3 miles upstream. It has often been floated from this point in springtime and provides a good ride, but a float from Cureall (12 miles) could entail much walking. 42.1 Hwy. H low-water bridge. Patrick Bridge Access at northeast side of bridge. Gravel ramp. Althea Spring, rated as Missouri's 23rd largest, is just downstream on the left. 42.3 Althea Spring Branch enters the river at a fast riffle.
43.6 Private campground on right.
45.3 Hwy. PP Bridge. This is a high bridge, but the old road goes down to the water for easy access
