Just as the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers rise from many sources to connect and become such extraordinary streams, 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 and Jacks Fork Rivers are much the same now as when our ancestors first saw them; unspoiled, wild, beautiful, inspiring, alive and alluring. Seven crisp, cool springs bubble and rise from the earth to form the Current Rivers' source, three the Jacks Fork. From thence and throughout their courses 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 them - and enjoy.
