it starts just inside the MO. state line at the Mammoth spring which is how the town got it’s name. it flows (i think) at about 9 million gallons of water per hour. there is a state park there on the state line where you can walk to the spring.
p.s. There’s no getting around the fact that Spring River is chilly. After all, nine million gallons-every hour-of 58 degree water is hard to ignore. But it is this volume of cool water that; 1) makes the Spring River a year-round float stream; and 2) allows the river to be regularly stocked with rainbow trout.
Most Spring River canoe trips take place in the 17 mile stretch between Mammoth Spring State Park and Hardy, an historic town in northern Sharp County. This section is recommended for beginning to intermediate canoeists, and is very popular for family outings.
