A warm, popular summer float in the far-southwest Missouri corner (McDonald County) around Pineville and Noel. Formed at Pineville where Big Sugar Creek and Little Sugar Creek meet; Indian Creek roughly doubles the flow near mile 30. Gravel bars, bluffs, and heavy summer party-float traffic. The base flow is clear and spring-influenced, but the river is strongly rain-driven and flash-flood prone — flows can swing from a couple hundred cfs to many thousands within hours of a storm — so it runs warmer and flashier than the deep-Ozark spring rivers.
