Otherwise you might get pinned between the boat and an obstruction. two basiC Canoeing stroKes BaSIC STROKES The first stroke to learn is the simple bow stroke. The paddler reaches forward with the blade, dips it into the water and pulls it back along the side of the canoe. Although this is known as the bow stroke, it is the basic stroke used by both the bow and stern paddlers when two persons are paddling. The stern paddler, who is responsible for steering the canoe, ends the bow stroke with an outward sweep of the paddle. For balance, safety and keeping on course, the stern paddler usually paddles on the opposite side of the canoe from the bow paddler. Strokes should be timed with those of the bow paddler. The bow paddler must learn additional strokes, for it is sometimes necessary to control the direction of the canoe from the bow.

Box 248 Sullivan, MO 63080 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Overview The overall purpose of the Meramec River Watershed Demonstration Project is to bring together relevant information about the Meramec River basin and evaluate the status of the stream, watershed, and wetland resource base. The project has three primary objectives, which have been met. The objectives are: 1) Prepare an inventory of the Meramec River basin to provide background information about past and present conditions. 2) Facilitate the reduction of riparian wetland losses through identification of priority areas for protection and management. 3) Identify potential partners and programs to assist citizens in selecting approaches to the management of the Meramec River system. These objectives are dealt with in the following sections titled Inventory, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analyses, and Action Plan. Inventory The Meramec River basin is located in east central Missouri in Crawford, Dent, Franklin, Iron, Jefferson, Phelps, Reynolds, St. Louis, Texas, and Washington counties. Found in the northeast corner of the Ozark Highlands, the Meramec River and its tributaries drain 2,149 square miles.
  • Stream Restoration of Tanyard Creek in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed B

    Stream Restoration of Tanyard Creek in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed B

    1. Cover Page: 2012 State Wildlife Grant Pre-Proposal a. Title of Project: Stream Restoration of Tanyard Creek in the Little Sugar Creek Watershed b. Project Summary: A 2,500 foot section of Tanyard Creek will be enhanced and restored. Unstable streambanks and excessive woody debris are compromising the aquatic and terrestrial habitat of this Karst area, and accelerated streambank erosion is contributing approximately 1,600,000 lbs/yr of sediment and 200 lbs/yr of total phosphorus to the Little Sugar Creek basin. Aquatic habit is limited from severe sedimentation which has diminished riffle/pool features and from stream instability resulting in degradation of the riparian area. A natural channel design approach will be used to restore and enhance the channel in a manner that reduces streambank erosion, transports sediment efficiently, and improves the riparian area and aquatic habitat for 13 SGCNs. c.

  • Description of the Study Area

    Description of the Study Area

    Description of the study Area Description: Description of the Study Area: The Big Piney Watershed is located in central Missouri and covers approximately 755 square miles in four counties. These counties include Texas, Howell, Phelps, and Pulaski Counties (see Big Piney- map.pdf). Most of the watershed (74%) lies within Texas County, while Pulaski, Phelps, and Howell Counties contain 14%, 12%, and less than 1% of the watershed respectively. The Big Piney Watershed is bounded on the west, north and a portion of the east side by the remainder of the Gasconade Basin. The Meramec, Current, and Jacks Fork Watersheds bound the Big Piney on the remainder of the East side, while the North Fork watershed lies on its southern boundary. The Big Piney Watershed has 5 cities and towns within or partially within its boundary. They include Cabool, Houston, Licking, Raymondville, and St. Robert. The Big Piney's land cover use is described in the Big Piney Land cover use.pdf. The majority of the Big Piney is fores, with grassland being a distant second as far as land use/cover type. The Big Piney River begins as a first order stream approximately 4 miles northwest of Cabool, Missouri. From its beginnings, the stream flows in a southeasterly direction for approximately 4 miles before entering the city of Cabool, Missouri. It then continues in a southeasterly direction for 2 miles before turning northeast and following the outskirts of Cabool for an additional 2 miles. From Cabool, the river continues in a northeasterly direction for 35 miles before turning to the North, Northeast.

    Far from the Madding Crowd

    Beat the Crowds! Plan your float trip for a weekday and avoid the FAR FROM THE weekend hordes. MADDING CROWD Escape the summer throngs when you dip your oars into these peaceful Ozark streams. BY CAROLYN TOMLIN HE DAY DAWNED MILD AND SUNNY Ton the Gasconade River in southwest Missouri. As veteran float- ers of this waterway, we anticipated a quiet, peaceful trip. And that’s just what we got. Using a large four-seater Osage canoe made in Lebanon, our group put in at Austin Ford on Wright County’s Route E for this short trip, and took out at Buzzard’s Bluff. Handling our own transporta- tion, we tied the canoe to the top of a farm truck. With two vehicles— one to leave at the pickup point and the other to transport the floaters and canoe—we set off for a day on the river. Packing simple provisions of Spam, saltines, plastic bottles of frozen water, and a few other items, we feasted on a gravel bar with a repast that tasted more like a five-course luncheon than a meal from a can. The bottled water soon warmed—but it was still wet! Life on the river carries its own unique lessons. Here, the senses are on overload in this peaceful environment. There were times when the only sound was of the paddles dipping and lifting in the current. Once, Part of the Ozark we froze in silence as an otter and her young cavorted among the tree National Scenic roots on the nearby bank. Yet these playful little imps showed no fear of Riverways, the Current River is known us.
