THE DETAILS

Float the Ozarks with 37 North Expeditions and the James River Basin Partnership! The James River and its tributaries has over 300 river miles from its headwaters in Webster County all the way to where it empties into Table Rock Lake. Floating the James was the gateway to Ozarks’ recreation in the past and introduced many folks to our beautiful hills, wildlife, and waterways. Float one or all these sections of the James and learn more about our most precious cultural and natural resource – our local water.

Float 5 (August): Shelvin Rock to Hooten Town Access
On this section of the James, we will introduce you to the many species of river “critters” who make the river and its banks their home. From smallmouth (smallmouth is one word) bass to sycamores and macroinvertebrates, we’ll discuss the roles and relationships of native plants and wildlife and what they can tell us about local water quality.
