I did a 3 day, 33 mile float on Bryant Creek several years ago. There are no outfitters on that stream. We had to portage around numerous obstructions and one low water bridge. We saw nobody else on the whole trip. It doesn't have as many springs as the North Fork but it's a beautiful float and you can walk up to see Hodgson mill, always a plus.

Ed,

I've been wanting to do Bryant Creek for years! But preferably with someone who knows it -- maybe from the Ozark Mountain Paddlers. And the water has to be up too. It's on my To do list to make that happen.

Might it be feasible to include a stretch of Bryant Creek on one of the days? - Ed

Carolyn,

It's more like 3 1/2 hours from St Louis one way. What exactly we'll be doing each day will be decided very close to the date depending on river levels and possibly the weather.

2 quick questions:
1. The trip description says it is 6 hours from St. Louis. Is this correct?
2. I didn't see anywhere where we are putting in and taking out.

I can leave as early as 1 pm on Friday. I just have one kayak. I can carry an additional one.

Good idea, Ed!

Everyone, if you are interested in carpooling, please reply to this post. It takes about 3 1/2 hours to get to the area and I am assuming you will want to arrive before dark to get your tents up -- if your work schedule allows of course. Indicate the earliest you can leave.

Our normal carpooling site is the commuter site at Gravois and 270.

I suggest we have a quick discussion at the monthly meeting of possible shuttle options for those departing from St. Louis.

Hi Briana. They are pretty great aren't they? I am not by nature a shy person, but I do tend to want to know a LOT about things before I jump in. I am a little disappointed that I am going to not be with the main group of people. But I know I will be okay. Heck I will probably be so tired by Saturday night that I will be asleep before dark anyway. LOL.

Deborah, I'm so grateful you posted and shared with vulnerability about your concerns about this trip. I'm relatively new to the club as well, and though I've done a bunch of pop-up paddles with the club, this will be my first overnight with the club, so I'm nervous too! I'm also relatively new to camping myself. I basically hadn't been camping prior to spring 2021 when I decided I wanted to try it, so I've been getting gear, learning how, increasing my skills, all with great mentorship from friends! I'm glad you touched based with Kathy and Eileen and decided you're in. Looking forward to doing this trip with both long and new club members!

CAMPING: As others have mentioned, North Fork Rec Area (Hammond) is first come first serve, so that's what Dustin and I will try for. We will have one car and one tent. We can leave Friday morning but maybe not till 10am or so, so hopefully we can arrive early enough to get a spot! We would be happy to share a spot with someone else if either we or you arrive early ;-)
