Come one, come all. Join us for some paddling fun on the Jack’s Fork of the Current River in part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. This annual BCCC trip has some of our members camped out for several days in loop 600 (electric) of Alley Springs Campground.

Come on out and enjoy the fall colors, the local wildlife, and the good camaraderie.  This trip is enjoyed by newcomers, old timers, and 3-4 generations on this fun-filled fall getaway. Contact Leanne Logan for further details. 

Here are some tips to help you prepare:

• Closest town is Eminence, MO 
• Camping @ Alley Spring Campground run by the National Park Service. Call ahead if you want a campsite with electricity–there were few electrical sites left last I heard. If you are tent camping, you can just show up as it’s a large campground with lots of options. 
  
• Check out the annual Scenic Riverways Arts and Crafts Show where craftsmen & women sell their one-of-a-kind wares with demonstrations, food, and live music. Bring cash for gifts, goodies and food treats. Located at Circle B Campground on the banks of the river.
• Share a dish at the annual potluck Saturday night -- 5:30 PM happy hour & 6:00 PM great eats.
• Visit Alley Spring and tour the 100 year old grist mill, one of the Ozarks’ most famous landmarks located six miles west of Eminence Missouri,  on state highway 106, just across from our campground. Many years the National Park Service hosts a Haunting in the Hills at the Alley Springs Mill on Friday or Saturday nights, and re-enactors represent life 100 years ago in period costumes demonstrating their wares during the day.
