The beautiful Current River flows for about 184 miles, starting from Montauk Springs and winding through the Ozark Plateau before merging with the Black River on the Missouri–Arkansas border. Its crystal-clear, spring-fed water carves through stunning limestone bluffs and lush oak-hickory forest, creating an ideal habitat for abundant trout. Protected in 1964 as part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways—the first national park unit set aside for a river—it’s a popular destination for canoeing, fishing, and wilderness camping.
