Eminence was named one of America's Fifty Best Sports Towns in Sports Afield Magazine for 1998. – February 1998 issue 

Eminence, MO – There are plenty of activities you can enjoy in our beautiful Ozarks, including canoeing on the nation's #1 float stream. Eminence is considered the Canoe Capital of the World. Year round floating is available on the scenic springfed rivers in the Ozarks.

Our rivers are protected by the National Scenic Riverways with clear water for tubing and swimming.

We have the nation's largest trail ride, offered several times a year. Rentals and reservations are available year round.

If you like to go hiking, we have the Ozark Trail and Lick Log Trail, which are short and sweet for everyone.

Springtime is just beautiful with flowering dogwoods, redbud, wild cherry trees and many other blooming flowers. There are several restaurants nearby that offer family dining at reasonable prices.

A nice convenience store is within walking distance of the cabins. The menu offers homemade pizza and river-ready sandwiches to go - everything you need for a day on the beautiful Jacks Fork and Current Rivers.

Rodeos, bluegrass and country music are also offered in the area, and there's a new nine-hole golf course nearby.

For Reservations Call: 573-226-3893
