    I grew up on this river. For over 30 years I have had a calling for this river. As I got older…. The love has grown to a spiritual level. This river is my church. Best videos on this gem of a river hands down. I go to sleep at night to these videos. They are perfect. The narration to the soundtrack. Incredible!

    I'm gonna tell you what. Man I remember when I was a kid back in the 50s and 60s traveling from Michigan down south to out west and to my best recollection all the rivers were soupy, silt filled dregs. I been watching all these current float trips in kayaks, canoes and rafts and seeing these rivers are all pristine clear to the bottom rivers of glassy movement. Hell I remember the Arkansas coming out of Colorado that thing was dark, blue steel dark. I don't know what happened made all these rivers so clean and pristine, but I'll take it 😊😊😊!!! And can't wait for the day I can get out on 'em. Thanks for sharing about the history on Jacks Fork that was real interesting too.

      Thank you Tim! We often utilize the latest Gopros with Protune and appropriate filters. When possible, we use cameras with better sensors and lenses. In the field however, it's risky for larger and more advanced platforms. We have access to multiple drones. My go to, is the DJI P4P, Mavic Pro and Enterprise. Agreed, sometimes shorter duration is better. Depends on the content and project. We really appreciate you! Thanks for watching!

Probably more class 2, but similar scenery and water?

I can say that the JF is roughly under 50 miles in length and most of it is spectacular. There is about a three or four mile stretch, if I recall, around Eminence that is pretty populated. We we were not huge fans of that section. The rest? Awesome.

      😀Oh, I’ve had a few canoe experiences as well. On more than one river. Great utility, but in my opinion, nothing beats a balanced kayak. Kudos!

    The Jacks Fork is part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverway system. Drones are prohibited 🚫

      Yes sir. Again, correct. Per our response on your previous comment, a special use permit is required. Otherwise, the operating station must be located outside the contiguous boundaries of the park. For commercial purposes, pilots must be in compliance with part 107.

      Agreed. The Jacks is a tough river to beat! The Greenbrier in WV is pretty impressive, but two totally different rivers.

    The story of how the river got its name is embellished a little bit. Not accurate. It is only off by about 100 years. It was a Shawnee chief, but from around 1900.

      Interesting. We relayed the story as it was told to us by a local, and found it intriguing. We enjoy listening to the folklore, sometimes tall tales, about the areas we visit. Good to know!

      Thanks for even a shred of the story, even if the truth is lost to time. I've often heard that Shawnee and Cherokee were known to hide in Missouri. If Captain Jack managed to find some peace and freedom in the Ozarks while hiding from settlers and Osage, then good for him! I hiked the Ozark Trail for a few days and visited the Norfork several times. Such a beautiful part of Missouri.

      You are correct. A special use permit is required. Additionally, a part 107 certificate must be held by the PIC when operated for commercial use. We have a future river project coming up, but will be waiting until permit application and approval. Thank you for your concern.
