There is a new campground and float service called " Hidden Valley Outfitters " going in just below the Hwy 64 Niangua River bridge. They also rent canoes, kayaks and rafts.

Hi, Please stop by Larry's at Bennett Spring when you arrive, we will be glad to let you know the latest details. The Niangua is getting very low so you will want to put in at the park and concentrate on the big browns that are moving up to the cool Bennett Spring stream. There is one monsters estimated 15lb plus still lurking the deeper pools just below the park. Hope you have a great trip. !!

Hi, This is Mike Peace from Larry's at BSSP. With the hot July weather, we are seeing alot of the big brown trout move up into the stream, and several large lunkers have been taken at the dam. We also question the limit reduction to 4 since the hatchery had been able to sustain a limit of 5 for decades even when zone 2 at BSSP allowed soft plastic worms and salmon eggs which resulted in everyone limiting out and also many fish gut hooked and still released. With the major expansion of the hatchery, they should be able to sustain the original park opening limit of 6 trout. Many of our customers are upset over the limit reduction. We are planning to add a survey to our website and possibly even a petition. Our efforts to get a rationale response for the limit reduction from MDC have gone unanswered. I would be very keen for feedback from everyone. Kind Regards, Mike Peace Webmaster http://www.bennettspring.com
