Hidden Valley Outfitters Canoe Launch

Hidden Valley Outfitters Canoe Launch is a boat launch in Missouri, about 0.4 miles from the community of Bennett Springs. It is a put-in point for paddlers on the water in this part of the state, and its closeness to town makes it an easy stop when planning a day on the river. Paddling here is most comfortable in late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 76°F with lows near 54°F, and September highs around 80°F with lows near 57°F. Midsummer runs hotter, with July highs averaging about 88°F. The launch sits close to several other outdoor spots. Bennett Spring Branch, a river fishing area, is about a mile away, and Whistle Trail and Bridge Trail are both just over a mile off for a walk before or after time on the water. Paddlers who want more water can look to the Niangua River, roughly 4 miles away.
