Loaded canoes and rafts should avoid the section above Alley Spring at 31.0 miles on the Jacks Fork River except after heavy local rains or in early to mid-Spring. Alley Spring is the tenth largest spring in Missouri, and pumps a large volume of water into the Lower Jacks Fork. While the upper section may be more difficult for paddling due to wide, shallow and slow or low flowing water.

The Current River segment is floatable year round.
