Current River, Akers to Round Spring (July, 2007)

 
After the Pulltite Access most of the canoes that had been on the river exited.  (Thank goodness!)  Though it wasn't quite Niangua-on-a-weekend type traffic, we had hoped for fewer people since we started on a weekday morning.  But, I will say that most of those on the river were out there for the right reasons and not being obnoxious.

Also just after the Pulltite Access is Pulltite Spring which pumps 30 million gallons per day into the Current River and several other springs (some visible on the river right) such as Fire Hydrant Spring.  All of these make up the Pulltite Spring Complex and together they discharge 144 million gallons per day which really increases the volume of the river at this point.
