FKT: Justin Adams - Current River Challenge (MO) - 2022-05-20

Started at 6:05 am at the Current River Trail Trailhead across from Carr's canoe livery. I followed the trail up to Echo Bluff State Park and then on to Current River State Park for a total of 8 miles. Once at Current River State Park, I reached the end of the trail. I grabbed my stand-up paddleboard, pfd and paddle, all of which I had stashed earlier this morning, and ran about 100 yards to the Current River. I then paddled the remaining 4 miles back to the takeout at Carr's. The trail is well marked single-track and easy to follow, the terrain is rocky with several long climbs. The river is easy to paddle, maybe some class II rapids at the most, but class 1 for most of the route.
