About this spot
This jump site is positioned on the right bank approximately 4.5 miles downstream from Alley Springs. River access is the primary entry method to reach this location. Multiple outfitters in the region rent canoes, kayaks, and rafts for river navigation. Standard trips originate at Alley Springs with exits near Eminence or Two Rivers. Traveling by canoe or kayak from Alley Springs at roughly 3mph without frequent stops, expect to encounter the site after about ninety minutes of paddling. Alley Spring ranks among Missouri's ten most substantial springs and maintains cold temperatures year-round while supporting adequate water depth for floating throughout all seasons. Before jumping, assess conditions by diving into your intended landing area to check for submerged rocks and verify sufficient depth. Water levels at this spot measured 12-15 feet in the main channel and approximately 8 feet at the jump location during documentation. Regional incident reports indicate serious injuries and fatalities have occurred from reckless jumping practices on this stretch. The 15-mile section between Alley Springs and Two Rivers contains numerous additional jump opportunities, though none matching this site's height. The river also provides quality swimming locations suitable for an extended recreational day. Always prioritize safety when exploring jump spots along this waterway.
