Trip Overview

Little Blue River & Longview Lake to Missouri River

2 days - 40 miles

I really enjoyed these day trips. The water height really makes a difference on the enjoyment of the trip. Water height is ideal between 5.5 and 6.5 feat at USGS website.

First day was Longview Lake to O'Charlies.
Then O'Charlies to Fort Osage Boat Ramp.

Each 20 miles took between 5 and 7 hours depending on water level.

Fees:

No Fees
