Jacks Fork, Buck Hollow to Ebb and Flow Spring (June, 2008)

 
The upper stretches of the Jacks Fork are fairly shallow but move along at a nice pace.  The water wasn't particularly high for us but it was the first weekend in June so it was just enough to keep us from scraping.

The NPS Jacks Fork gauge at Mountain View was right at 2 feet which is decent floating.  The water temperature was in the high 70s...cold for me, but not bad.

A map of the route is available from the NPS and there's a good mile-by-mile guide published by the Missouri Department of Conservation that posted on the Missouri Canoe & Floaters Association.
