Due to the rise and fall of the Ozark plateau there are stretches of Cadron Creek where the
water cascades over large boulders down tight willow-lined chutes. And there are other
areas where you may drift slowly along under Tupelo trees and Cypress. The classification of
a river is a function of its gradient and of obstacles such as boulders, ledges and narrow
chutes. These ingenious features tell us of its potential, but it is the volume of water that
creates the reality. Cadron Creek is perfect for whitewater and recreational boating.
Depending on position on the creek and water level paddlers may encounter three levels of
difficulty:
|
|
|
|
Class I. Easy.
|
Moderately fast moving water with riffles and small waves. Few obstructions, all obvious and easily missed with little training.
Risk to swimmers is slight; self-rescue is easy. Examples: "Swimmer's Hole", "Sarah's Falls", Hartwick Mill Run
|
|
|
|
Class II. Novice.
|
Straightforward rapids with wide, clear channels which are evident without scouting. Occasional maneuring may be required,
but rocks and medium sized waves are easily missed by trained paddlers. Swimmers are seldom injured and group assistance,
while helpful, is seldom needed. Examples: "Daddy's Knee", "Cow Shoals", Pinnacle Springs Run
