One Hundred and Two (102)

We floated from Bridgewater Access (near Arkoe, MO) to the Barnard Bridge on June 18, 2016. The flow at the Maryville gauge was about 110 cfs. The put in and take out are steep but doable. I wouldn't recommend floating this section with less water. I walked our 16' SOAR Pro Pioneer through the rocky riffles at Bridgewater, over the exposed ledges at Tailend Charlie (also called Beattie's Falls?), and drug across some sandbars along the way. It was a surprisingly nice float with plenty of exposed sand bars, and took about five hours with easy paddling. Moffit's Bridge is roughly half way between Arkoe and Barnard, but doesn't offer a user friendly take out. There is a ton of tree debris piled up under Moffit's and the Barnard bridges, which isn't a problem at low water, but could become very hazardous in faster/higher water.
