We provide the transportation, paddles, canoes, and life jackets. You float in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The Jacks Fork and Current rivers are two of the most beautiful rivers in the U.S. You may prefer to take your trip Monday through Thursday in order to avoid the weekend crowds.

Especially in the Spring, these Class I rivers are sometimes closed due to flooding.

We do offer multi-day trips to other areas--for example our Boundry Waters trip. These require permiting and a few months lead time to get all the ducks in a row for a trip. We are willing to lead a trip anywhere we are able to get a permit!

We have a special use permit from the ONSR to provide canoe rental and livery service within the boundary of ONSR only to guest that participate in other activities or programs at Discovery Ministries. Camping counts as another program or activity.

Note that during July and August we cannot put canoes on the rivers on Saturday and Sunday due to National Park Service regulations on our activity. This may not apply if it is a multi-day canoe trip, call to see.

Canoes must have at least one person over the age of 13 in them.

If you want to rent less than 3 canoes, we suggest that you call another canoe rental. They will be glad to pick you up at our camp and bring you back here. And, they will be much cheaper. We're generally cheaper if you have 3 canoes or more.

Your ONSR trip can last 3 hours to 5 days depending
on your chosen put-in and take-out points.
