- Join us on part 2 of our journey, as we continue on to the confluence of the Jacks Fork and Current River. On our final stretch, we encounter springs, a massive cave and an epic landscape!
Your film is incredibly beautiful! I felt as if I was on the river, experiencing its' beauty and peacefulness as I watched this! Thank you so much!
We love the Ozark Region. Thank you for your kind words!!!
Thank you all for joining us!
@t bone fisher To the best of my memory, we did about 12 miles the first day. We hit the cave on the second day after a couple miles. So, just under 14 miles from the South prong access I believe.
Thanks for the great video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Shannon County Missouri is a beautiful Place. I will be there in August floating this river.
It sure is gorgeous! We hope you have as much fun on those rivers as we do! Have a great trip!!! Thanks for watching!
Missouri's senic rivers are our most treasured resources. Ty for making this video. You do us justice. Will be waiting for more to see, good luck, and Cheers !
Thank you! There will definitely be more to come.
You presentation was awesome.
Thank you!
Love part 1 & 2 ❤
Thank you!!
The Jacks Fork and Alley Springs are my favorite places on the plant. Thank you so much for capturing them in all their glory. Absolutely stunning videography to capture a stunning place. Well done!
Thank you Greg! We greatly appreciate the complement! We have many trips planned to come. Thanks for watching!
Loved this!
Absolutely stunning! I love your ambient music mixed with the natural soundtrack. Very serene. ❤️ H2
Thanks! We try to get a balance. Depending on what is there, naturally, sometimes we can use more of that, than at other times.
Thank you so much for checking it out! we'll be watching your channel. Im excited to see what you develop! (Brian)
The best paddler videos.
Thank you!!!!
Been anticipating this. I saw the Teacher's retreat, flat top bluff, Rymers and so many other cool scenes along the river.
You did an amazing job capturing the videos and editing.
Thanks!
Awesome! We’re glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Very nice, I commend you on your photographic abilities!

Great job all. I have been on this river and you captured it well.
Thanks Joe!!!
You got me again. 25 degrees in cental Illinois where I live, but I am making plans. Another great video. Thanks for posting it.
We just finished a trip on the Greenbrier during a winter storm. Windchill hit 9 degrees. Was certainly an adventure. We'll have that video up soon enough. As always, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! Stay warm!
Beautiful!!! Something man can’t make
Yes sir! Thank you

That's a great run. You're going to love it!
will be waiting for the next!
goodnight, Sherry!
@@ava-brendadillard7131 goodnite to you all as well.
The Ozarks look to be an amazing place. The rivers and the caves are mesmerising. No wonder you said you would be back there. Just so beautiful 💚
It is one of our favorites for sure, but there are so many more incredible locations!
Thank you for creating these. You've had me hypnotized for hours now watching your videos. Jack's fork is Definitely on my list now
So glad you enjoyed it! It really is so beautiful to be out there, as long as you make the right preparations.
@@AVAJourneys I've been hunting and camping and canoeing all my life never did a canoe/camping overnight though going to start this year have a couple of questions I have some classic army zero degree down mummy sleeping bags how do you think they would fair in a hammock I like the idea of being off the ground the hammock provides rather than the pup tent I use , also in context my wife and I where camping on the current I live in Doniphan not as pretty here but we where actually stalked by a mountain lion to the point we had to leave. There was no fear off us at all. I know some people don't like it but I would really suggest carrying something for self defense against hogs they are mean in the right situation
@@charleswilburn5640 As a top quilt, or cover, the bags will be fine. However, when it comes to a hammock, your body compresses the sleeping bag and subtracts from the insulation it provides. Most folks use an underquilt and/or an insulated pad. We recommend an underquilt. As far as the wild life, we've certainly had our encounters. When feasible, we usually bring a firearm.

@@AVAJourneys thank you very much
Your video just makes me want to get out with my Kayaks and do some fishing
Thank you!
I grew up on all of these rivers, black river, blue springs, elephant rock. Steelville on the hoozah river, tell ya what if you haven't been to Bull shoals, that make is an ABSOLUTE beauty body of water. I'm new sub and love the content, thanks for taking the time to share the beauty we have here in MISSOURI, I travel and do the same thing, but no camera,
Very gracious statement! Thank you! We are familiar with those areas to some extent. There are still a few locations on our list to hit in Missouri, and a few in Arkansas. Next time you go...take a camera ; )
evidently you did ! jam up cave used to be a military medical station where planes would literally fly into the cave. if you’re brave enough to swim past the spring all the way in the back and climb up a narrow and dark waterfall you will find a path that goes all way on top of the cave as well as open into another room that i have found carcasses in. let’s just say humans aren’t the only ones brave enough to explore
i crossed (along with 4 other buddies) the spring in my trunks and with no t shirt 😂
8:23 ebb and flow is what it’s marked as on the map from the rangers but i like to call it rhymers spring!
That's very interesting! Next time we visit, we'll venture a little further into Jam Up! Thank you for watching by the way!
Alley springs is named after my families namesake. In the second floor of the mill there is a picture of the Alley family when my Grandfather was about 4 years old.
That's incredible! Thank you for sharing that with us!!
Jacks fork is a spring fed river. It's so cold you wouldn't want to swim in it until late July early August. Missouri is a beautiful state.
It is indeed! Missouri water ways are incredible. As of this writing, we are on our way to run the Greenbrier in WV. Winter run! Stay tuned!
Southern Missouri is stunning. Northern Missouri is like Iowa and N. Central Illinois, as flat as a board... except around Hannibal.
The far Southwest part of Missouri is more mountainous as one gets closer to Arkansas. The Southeast part of the State is granite rugged, but the hills are more rolling than in Northwest Arkansas where the Ozarks are really mountainous with much taller peaks than in Missouri.
Watch out fur dem der sasquacthees!
This river looks amazing. I really need to do this, but not sure I really want to do 48 miles. Perhaps I can split it up, but not sure of all the access points. Would require some planning.
It does require a bit of planning. There are plenty of camping opportunities along the river. We're used to covering more than 20 miles a day, but everyone is different and has thier own preferences. Plan it and execute. You'll love it!
Yes I just need to find someone who will do it with me, I don’t think my wife would be up to that long of a trip 😅. You know I thought the Buffalo River had the best bluffs out of any river I’ve seen in the Ozarks, but I would say this video makes me think Jack’s Fork rivals what I’ve seen on the Buffalo. The only problem with the Buffalo is that it isn’t spring fed enough to maintain water levels.
@@natesambo9759 Both rivers are incredible and somewhat seasonal, depending upon where you put in. They're unique in their own features for sure. We commonly contact park services, for recommendations and also permissions, when performing areal photography.
bro u should make asmr for people who like to listen to nature when they sleep
Interesting idea Nicholas. Thanks for watching!
Looks peaceful like Goin back in time and getting away from modern life
Our trips are just that indeed! As remote as some of these locations are, we sometimes don't see any sign of civilization for miles. Thanks for watching!
Where are some good places to put in at or easiest to get to put ins and will outfitters take my Kayak for hire
We put in at the Prongs. You can put in higher, but that’s only with sufficient water levels. We always take out at Two Rivers. Anita with Two Rivers Canoe rental will take good care of you. Excellent outfitter. Tell her we said hello!
I want to go there. I own property there and I have never kayaked or explored the area there. I have no idea how to get started
You definitely need to! Tell you what, contact Anita at Two Rivers Canoe Rental. She and her crew are awesome and will provide all the information you need. They offer personal kayak transport, as well as rentals if you do not have your own. Depending on water levels, the Prongs are an ideal place to put in and are near the headwaters of the JF. Anita can assist you in planning your trip, depending on your desired distance and intentions. Thanks for watching!!
@@AVAJourneys Thank you very much !
Will you take my ashes on a video ride here, then find the best spot to drop me lol
Lol, you'd be surprised how many people have made that statement Greg.
What a beautiful part 1 & 2 video of a beautiful river. Thank you so much for sharing this. I would love to float this and have a few questions 1. What time of year is the best time to float this? 2. What is the warmest month to float this? 3. I have a 9’ one man pontoon boat, would this be ok to use? 4. Is there shutting services? 5. Was it hard to find camping spots along the river? Thank you for any information you can give.
Good morning! The river can get pretty busy from late May through August, with August being of course the hottest period, next to July. There are many services in the area. We would definitely recommend Two Rivers Canoe Rental. Anita, who runs it, is fantastic!
In our opinion, the best time to run it is late April or May. Water levels are usually high enough to start at the Prongs. Make sure you check the forecast frequently, however, to avoid flooding. The river can rise quickly.
Camping spots are plentiful. We hammock camp often, and were able to find plenty of trees
Gravel bars are common as well, if you opt for tents. I've not run in the boat you've described, but with recommended water levels you should be fine. Please let us know how your trip goes!!
@@AVAJourneys thank you so much for the info. I will probably wait til spring to run it.
