Any Landowner Problems Above Moon Valley?

[stream stalker]

I'm thinking of putting my kayak in at Moon Valley and paddling upstream and floating back down in the near future, does anyone know of any problems with landowners on that stretch? Or any other info or advise on that area, I've never floated above Moon Valley before. -SS

For the penny it's worth I've never heard of any. I believe the water above Riverfront is more worth the effort however. It's also probably just as cheap given the gas needed to go to Moon Valley.

I think you will be OK. Check out the L Niangua if you are in the area. Great little stream.

Yes, the Little Niangua is on my short list of streams to float, unfortunatly it's been on the list for a while. You have a favorite stretch that you recommend? -SS

The Little Niangua is a sweet little stream. If there is water in it, you can almost float from Mule Shoe downstream, but from Howard's Ford to Bannister Ford is a gorgeous float with very fishy habitat.

I went ahead and tried the paddle upstream from Moon Valley on Friday. There was still a lot of water running, so the paddling was kind of tough. I probably only made it about a mile and a half up, 4 hours going up, 30 minutes coming back down. It was a nice area and I only saw 1 other boat the whole afternoon. Glad I did it I always like to experience new water. Needless to say, the Little Niangua is still on the to do list. Hitting the Jack's Fork this week. -SS
