SUMMARY:Current River Camping and Kayaking
DESCRIPTION:This is a 2-day paddle with base camping at Pulltite. \nSaturday we will put in at Cedar Grove and take out at Pulltite.  On Sunday we will put in at Pulltite and take out at Upper Round Springs. \nThe Current River is a year-around stream with adequate flow almost anytime. It is a flatwater river that is fed by more springs than any other Missouri river\, keeping its flow constant. The river drops at a rate of about 4.4 feet per mile. Its designation as part of the National Scenic Riverways program protects the Current River under federal law from over-commercialization\, damming or otherwise obstructing the flow of the river or disrupting natural plant and biological life on and around the river. Surrounding the river are dense stands of maples\, hickories\, oaks\, elms and many other species of hardwood trees\, all of which provide a visual feast during the fall season when the colors begin to change. The Current River is known for its astounding natural beauty amid Ozark vistas that were made for photo postcards. With many springs to see\, and some are quite amazing for the volume they pump into the river\, and other topographical wonders to explore there is plenty to keep you busy and interested on any part of this beautiful river. \nBe sure to bring along a camera (and drybag!) with plenty of film\, compact flash cards or disc memory for the photos you will surely want to take. \nMeeting Location: Cedar Grove access\, 8:00 am. \nCamping:  Pulltite Campground. \nWater classification: The Current River is a Class I (occasionally Class II) river. \nClass I: Fast-moving water with riffles and small waves; few obstructions\, all obvious and easily missed with little training; risk to swimmers is slight; self-rescue is easy. \nClass II: Straightforward rapids with wide\, clear channels which are evident without scouting; occasional maneuvering may be required\, but rocks and medium-sized waves are easily missed by trained paddlers; swimmers are seldom injured and group assistance\, while helpful\, is seldom needed. \nPossible hazards or difficult sections of water paddled (other hazards may also be encountered on the trip): \nStrainers\, root wads\, rocks and other obstacles to navigate around. \nSkill level required: \n Beginner (paddler who has a proficient forward stroke\, knows other basic strokes\, and can maneuver their boat in Class 1 moving water.) \nType of boat required: As the Current River is somewhat rocky\, you may want to bring a plastic (“rotomold”) boat. \nHow to dress: Dress for immersion.  The Current River is spring fed\, so it is cold year-round. No cotton. If wearing sandals\, they should have back straps. \nParticipants must bring:  (Take this off the Request form for STL Canoe & Kayak Club trip/event.)  \n\nA complete change of clothes in a dry bag. \nwater \nlunch for 2 days on the river\nU.S. Coast Guard approved PFD (life jacket)\n“pealess” whistle \nbug spray\nsunscreen\ncamping gear and food\n\nFor a list of items to bring that might be helpful for new paddlers\, here is a link: Kayaking Gear for Every Trip \nMinors are welcome on this trip if a parent or guardian attends. \nPlease check out the Club Sanctioned Trips forum for additional information as it is posted\, or to ask questions or post comments.  Club Sanctioned Trip Info & Comments – St. Louis Canoe & Kayak Club \nRisks involved: Paddlesports and related ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS AND DANGERS OF DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY AND SERIOUS BODILY INJURY\, INCLUDING PERMANENT DISABILITY\, PARALYSIS\, AND DEATH.
