River Description

Above Batesvill Mountain Campground the Cadron is a quiet Ozark stream meandering through rolling countryside. Bordered by dense stands of hardwoods and bluffs, there are few signs of civilization. There are frequent ripples and shoals but the rapids are gentle. There are also many nice places to swim and explore waterfalls and rock grottos. This is a very scenic run for those learning to canoe or families with small children. This run also passes the remnants of Hartwick Mill--a large corn grist mill that was washed away in the flood of 1927. Riverside picnic facilities are available free to paddlers at Batesville Mountain Campground (approximately mid-run).
