Carr's Canoe Rental - Pulled out on a bank to have lunch.

My friends and I had the BEST experience with Carr's, doing a 10 mile float to Pulltite. They were…read morelate in picking us up from our lodge but the driver stepped out and profusely apologized and owned up to his error. He was very sweet and professional, talking to us along the way about the area and what to expect from our trip. Upon arriving, the staff setting up the raft were super helpful and reassuring to a friend of mine, who's not as familiar with being on the water. Their 6 person raft was roomy enough for the 4 of us along with a small cooler, dry bag and towels we brought along. We had such a peaceful float on the Current River and had even been given (by our driver) advice on where to find a small cave and spring that was large enough to navigate in. We also saw turtles, a heron, a small weasel, too many birds and butterflies to count and dragonflies landing on our raft along the way. The color of the water, small bluffs and expansive green shores and blue skies, made this a memorable day. Carr's provided a wonderful and safe way to have this experience. Upon arriving, as they assured us, it was very easy to spot the place we hauled in. Within minutes of pulling in, they were there and ready to take us back to the lodge. Use Carr's and have an amazing time on the river!

They were ready to drive me and my daughter to the Pulltite put in as soon as we arrived. Canoe was…read morevery high-quality and paddles were practically brand new. Got to two rivers an hour before our meet up time and I called and they were able to send someone to pick us up so we got back to our car an hour early on Sunday. Both drivers were extremely knowledgeable and very pleasantly conversant.

Gotta love Windy's!…read more My family has been coming to the Jack's Fork since well before I was born and we love kayaking here in the summer. We've used various kayak rental companies before and most have been fairly decent, but Windy's has consistently been great. The storefront is nicely managed by friendly employees and they carry a wide variety of seasonal merchandise. Scheduling is easy and they offer canoes in addition to kayaks. This time around, we used their services for a Sunday float on the Current River and very much enjoyed the ride. The Jack's Fork seemed to have an excessive amount of people on giant rafts and it was a less pleasant trip this year as a result (they randomly run into kayaks and tip them because they have limited control of the raft) We had an easy time booking, on-time pick-up for drop off, and very speedy pick-up after we made it to the Two Rivers Landing. All in all, highly recommend using Windy's if you're looking to kayak or canoe in the Jack's Fork or Current River.

It's been a long time since we've stayed at the Landing. Has been rebuilt a couple times and is a…read morevery nice setting. We had a King room that was roomy and comfortable with parking nearby. Great view of the Current River. Bed was comfortable and room location was pretty quiet, surprisingly. Only downsides were the A/C was noisy and the faux wood floors were being cleaned with some product that made them kinda sticky. We liked the Kuerig coffee maker in the room along with the nice size fridge. Check in experience was good too with friendly staff. We made reservations with a phone call and all went to expectation. Their restaurant onsite is The Blue Heron and it was good as well. Overall we had a good experience and will likely stay again.

Pros: modern, spacious rooms (incl. suites), mini-refrig, some with microwave, no bugs/spiders,…read morelink-up with float services, private river-front gravel bar, Jingles-the-Friendly-Siamese cat (loves kids), friendly staff, on-site good restaurant (evening only), comfortable mattresses, big balconies with Adirondack chairs, OK convenience store, AT&T reception very good, only partial river view from some rooms. For addicts, booze and pot close by. Cons: typical noisy blowy HVac wall units, no house phone in rooms, no luggage help, walk to Rose Cliff Lodge for ice, no cooking or fires allowed anywhere, max. 2-story walk ups depending on room (no elevators), pricey, noise from big rigs on Hwy 60 bridge (less noise in River Center), no house computer, no playground/River here a bit fast for younger kids to play in. The biggest problem with this otherwise quality property was (officially anyway) a "no cancellation/refund/credit" policy. They don't charge your card until you check in, so it is unclear how rigidly enforced this policy is (+ there's a $15 cancel fee per room/day). We got flooded out over July 2025 weekend (Park Service closes the river if it gets over 6 feet - follow this on NOAA website/river level Van Buren MO). We elected to stay regardless (kids are more flexible and inventive than adults!) The Landing is highly dependent on the weather and have a limited season, so they really can't insure your stay. Still, they should have an official credit option for a future stay credit. In Van Buren: "The" Mexican restaurant serves huge good portions. The steaks at the Landing's Blue Heron come out mooing - you may need to have them touched up. Best breakfast is at the Ranch House. No nightlife. In area: Big Spring is spectacular, floating is worth the price, but best in a canoe unless you like cold butt (there's an enormous cave upstream from Van Buren), little funky animal park is pricey but fun for kids. For floating, IMHO the best stretch of the Current is Aker's Ferry to Round Spring, and do it in drought after July 4 for clear water and to minimize deer flies and horse flies.

The team at Two Rivers Canoe Rental is the best on either the Current River or Jacks Fork River…read more There is a store and camp ground located at the confluence of the two rivers (where the name comes from). They offer, kayak rental, canoe rental, raft rental, and they rent tubes for tube floating as well as well as supplies to support your float. Located ~ 6 miles northeast of Eminence, Mo within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Day floats, multi-day trips, as well as vehicle pick-up and storage (if you put into the river and want to have your vehicle waiting at Two Rivers landing when you arrive) as well as ferrying services for your vehicle and/or canoe/raft/kayak. There are hot showers and bathrooms at the campground as well as firepits and poles for hanging/security food or trash bags out of the reach of animals while you camp. I just completed two trips over two days on Memorial Day weekend. It was awesome fun. On previous trips I have seen river otter, muskrat, ducks, great blue heron, bald eagles, turtles, deer, wild horses, fox, and once saw signs of black bear. The rivers wind through hills and bluffs laced with caves and are fed by dozens of springs. Rates are reasonable for daily floats, longer trips (flat rates), and groups. Great for friends, families, church groups, scouting troops, and both the advanced or novice on the water. It truly doesn't get any better than a trip down these beautiful rivers supported by the friendliest and most helpful crew around.
