@hezeld Put in at Akers Ferry and then float about 6-7 miles on the way to the Pulltite take-out. The cave appears on river-left and is very apparent. You can float back into it, as a few canoes can fit in it at one time. The swimmers jump from the ledge on the left as you enter the cave.
ha im headin down there the 26th with my scout troop.even though ur already there, im commenting tonight.... maybe see ya there..u'll hear someone screamin for arv haha..
The orifice of the spring in the Cave goes down about 90 feet and then goes horizontal as an underground river. About 1 mile uphill from the Cave is Devils Well, a huge sinkhole that has a staircase you can use to go down into the sinkhole and view the same underground river/lake from above. It's a pretty neat place as well. There is a road to Devil's Well off of KK between Hwy 19 and Akers. Nice picnic area too. There is also a trail from Devil's Well to Cave Spring.
How tough is the canoeing in the part of the river. I'm going on a bachelor part here in August and I'm just wondering if we're all going to sink, haha.
It's a very easy float. I like the fact that the water in the river is cool even on the hottest days because it's spring-fed (August is a Hot month in MO). Class I rapids only, but the river moves along nicely so you don;t have to paddle so much. Akers Ferry Canoe Rental rents Tubes as well as Canoes.
i have been floating on the current in doniphan, mo. how can i locate this specific place?

Been camping at Pulltite since I was a little girl. No place feels more like home than along the river in the Ozarks!!
