Floating the Northfork River

The North Fork of the White River is one of the best spots for family river vacations in MO. It is spring fed by the 8th largest spring system in the State of Missouri and the water is always cold and refreshing.

We are located at the heart of the river, known as the “Falls”. When you float with us you will be shuttled upstream so that you can end the day at your cabin. See our schedule below to plan your float trip in beautiful Southern MO!

The North Fork River has its upper reaches in the Mark Twain National Forest, and has a relatively constant flow from the natural springs. The crystal clear water makes for some excellent observations of the aquatic life living in the river.

River of Life Farm LLC is permitted through the U.S. Forest Service as a licensed outfitter.

Important Safety Tips

  • DO NOT take a child through who is not wearing a life jacket or who is fastened into a chair, such as a child seat.
  • DO NOT drink excessive alcohol while canoeing. There is a direct correlation between blood alcohol content and accidents
    on the river.
  • DO NOT put your fingers over the edge of the canoe, as if you brush aside a rock you can do severe damage to your fingers.
  • DO NOT have expensive items laying loose in the canoe. They should be in a Dry Bag that floats, and be fastened to the canoe.
