Two launch areas: The concrete boat ramp (upstream, west side of bridge) works well for motorized boats and trailer launches. For canoes/kayaks, the picnic grounds launch (downstream of bridge) is easier with a gentle slope.

Cave tours: Worth the stop — Onondaga Cave is one of Missouri's most beautiful show caves.
