What is close? Lots of stuff 2-3 hours away. The Jacks Fork is in my opinion the most gorgeous rive in the state. The Current river close behind it. Alley springs campground and canoe rental is in Eminance, MO and services both rivers. Also several closer out hwy 44, blue springs, Meramec State park, Huzzah valley just to name a few. They all use the Meramec river and the Huzzah and courtois rivers. All are good floats and enjoyable. If you go south down hwy 21 just south of Ironton you have the Black River which is also very pretty. Several outfitters down there too. We went to Bearcats last time. It is a great place for partiers. The crowd went all night and into the morning.

Meramec State Park is right at 1 hr drive for me. They have nice float from above, back down to the park. That way when you get out you're at your veh and not on a time schedule or waiting for the bus. They say it's a 3-4 hr float but it as taken us 6 or 7 many times. We stop and fish and swim a LOT. It's not a bad float.

Camping is a blast, floating is a blast, add good friends to the mix and it would be an awesome time..
