Gauge Information
River Description
(Big Creek tributary) Put-in and take-out are on private property next to roads.
Be discreet.
MoCreekin’ has some good info about
this and other creek runs in Missouri.
Logistics:
Carver Creek is off Hwy AA, just south of Taum Sauk Mountain State
Park. To get to the put-in, begin in Ironton/Arcadia, MO at the
intersection of Hwys 72 & 21, go south on Hwy 21 for 8.2 miles to Hwy AA, go right on Hwy AA
for 2.2 miles to the Hwy AA bridge on Carver Creek, and park just beyond the bridge at the small
pull-off on the right. Don’t block any driveways (with or without mailboxes). Check the
gauge on the bridge to see if you have enough water. Walk down the road until you hear the sound
of the first drop (about 100 yards) and head for the put-in above the drop.
To get to the take-out, go back on Hwy AA toward Hwy 21 for 1 mile to CR 114
(Victory Baptist Church) and go right on CR 114 for about ½ mile. The road goes down a
steep hill and levels out with Carver Creek off to the right. Park off to the side at the place
where the creek is next to the road.
History:
Carver Creek was first run in the spring of 1997 by Chris Amelung, Dennis Jones, Greg Brown, and
Jerry Schafroth.
