Ozark National Scenic Riverways is the first national park area to protect a
river system. The Current and Jacks Fork rivers are two of the finest floating
rivers found anywhere. Spring-fed, cold and clear: they are a delight to
canoe, swim, boat, or fish. Besides these two famous rivers, the park is home
to hundreds of freshwater springs, caves, trails, and historic sites such as
Alley Mill.
