Learn about local trails. Qualified instructors will be on hand to help you find the right activity and equipment for your summer adventures.

Authorized canoe and kayak concessioners will be invited to the event to provide you with details on services available on the Current, Jacks Fork, and Eleven Point rivers. National Park Service rangers and Missouri State Park naturalists will give presentations on a variety of topics throughout the day. Kick off your summer adventures by participating in this fun-filled and informative event.

Food vendors will be available on-site, so you can plan to spend the day. Parking at Current River State Park is limited, but a shuttle bus will be available from Echo Bluff State Park. For more information, call 573-323-8093 or 573-751-1224.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
