Take a Float Trip Down One of THREE Rivers Near FLW! Part 2 - Gasconade River! 🌊🚣

The Missouri Ozarks is known for some beautiful rivers! Fort Leonard Wood is located within thirty minutes or less of three beautiful rivers. A top activity to enjoy along the riverways is to take a relaxing float down the river. Enjoy floating down the rivers in a kayak, canoe, or tube! If you are planning to visit the area over the summer, planning a float trip is a must! Last week in our blog, we featured The Big Piney River, and this week we would like to feature The Gasconade River!
