From breathtaking hiking trails to picturesque springs, Missouri doesn’t run short on natural wonders. When living in Missouri, I highly recommend taking advantage of the beautiful Current River. The crystal clear waters offer a refreshing refuge during hot summer days. But during cool, fall days, the river’s beauty can still be enjoyed in the comfort of a canoe or kayak.

Our adventure starts at Akers Ferry Canoe Rental. There are a number of canoe rental shops along the river, but the Akers to Pulltite float trip would have to be my favorite.
