River Outfitters

Kayak, canoe or raft the Big Piney River. All within 45 minutes of our farm. Beautiful river with crystal clear spring-fed water. Nice river for beginners/intermediate. There are just a few rapids to make it interesting. Boiling Springs Campground rents kayaks, canoes for Big Piney http://www.bscoutdoors.com/

Hilkemeyer General Store rents canoes for the Gasconade. Not sure if they have kayaks. The Gasconade is a bit bigger than the Piney River, and slower paced, but still a lovely river for a float. Because it's a little larger, you may see an occasional motorized boat. Hilkemeyer General Store Address: 505 US Hwy 63, Freeburg, MO 65035 Phone: (573) 744-5245

Beach/Swimming

Longer hikes that we recommend are in Lake of the Ozarks State Park. (45 miles from the farm) The Park also has a very nice swimming beach. https://mostateparks.com/trails/lake-ozarks-state-park

This is a really unique place to go for a swim! It's a repurposed rock quarry with fun for all ages with rocks to jump from, sandy beaches and fun in the sun.

Hiking

Hiking Painted Rock Conservation Area which follows upland hills overlooking the Osage River is wonderful. The Osage River is too slow for tubing or canoeing. Painted Rock is 8 miles from the farm. https://extra.mdc.mo.gov/documents/area_brochures/8145map.pdf
