MO Whitewater Races (Part 1 of 6)

Whitewater competition held on the St. Francis River at Millstream Gardens Conservation Area near Fredericktown.
One of the best things about Missouri Outdoors is our abundance of water.
Lakes, rivers, streams and springs....everywhere you turn....there are opportunities for great outdoor recreation. Like this place...Millstream Gardens Conservation area.
What happens when a the powerful St. Francis river pushes its way through ancient granite bedrock?
Shut-ins; Beautiful to look at...fun to hop around on....and truly an adventure in a kayak or a canoe.
Millstream Gardens presents one of the Midwest's premier white water paddling opportunities. And every spring, 'The Saint' as paddlers call it, becomes the center of the largest gathering of white water enthusiasts in the Midwest...the Missouri Whitewater Championship.
Colleen: Just hoping not to hit the rocks when I go down in this boat.
Sarah: Today we're going to follow a couple of young women as they embrace the challenge and the excitement of racing on 'the Saint'
Cindy: Two lucky numbers right here. Perfect numbers.
