Welcome To The Current River Home Page

Come one, come all and visit the Current River, leave the noisy hustle bustle of modern life behind, lose the stress, and relax for a time, while gliding over cool clear water, past scenic bluffs, springs, caves and forests.

Just as the Current River rises from many sources to connect and become such an extraordinary stream, we too, are all a part of a river of humanity, equally connected to our own ancestral sources. Perhaps that is one of the many reasons why the timeless rhythm of moving water so touches us, just as surely now, as it must have touched the hearts and souls of our ascendants, and the Native Americans before them who first roamed the hills and valleys of the Ozark Plateau. They most certainly experienced the same feelings of peaceful joy, awed exhilaration, innate excitement and natural connectivity that the experience of this river may arouse in you.

The Current River is much the same now as when our ancestors first saw it; unspoiled, wild, beautiful, inspiring, alive and alluring. Seven crisp, cool springs bubble and rise from the earth to form its source, from thence and throughout its course numerous springs trickle, spurt, or gush forth from the land, among them is Big Spring - Missouri's largest, and one of the largest springs in the world. The bluffs, caves, springs, forest and wildlife provide a magnificent array of sights, sounds and other natural sensations that will bathe your body and soul,
come immerse yourself in it - and enjoy.
