Big piney day float

[U5 gravel]

Looking for suggestions on day float near Rolla. Our son goes to school in Rolla so we need accesses where he can take and pick us up to earn his keep. Thanks

I don't believe there are any outfitters left on Little Piney, buts that's the place to be. Big Piney can be good fishing but can be slow paddling as there are many long slow pools. Gasconade in that area is jetboat territory. I'd float the Meramac far upstream.

Closest floats would be the Little Piney, between Lane Spring and the Gasconade. Put in under 63 off the North Rd, take out at W, W to Newburg City Park, Newburg City Park to the Gasconade. Andy at Route 66 canoe rental could give you some more options. Float down to his place goes through the Devil's Elbow, good scenery, good fishing. He would probably put you in anywhere within a 30-45 minute drive mid week or off season.

Just south of Rolla in Duke MO is a few outfitters. I recommend Pecks Last Resort. I camped and floated with them this summer and was very pleased with everything!

Thanks Bushbeater and Gavin! Queen wants to keep it short so she can visit with the boy, so big piney it is and little piney next time.
