Overview:The clear waters of the
Spring River are a favorite of canoeists. Many areas of the upper Spring River are popular with fly fishermen.
Outfitters and launch facilities are available along the Mammoth Spring-Hardy stretch (17 miles). The river is crystal-clear, with long pools and whitewater falls. The scenery is mostly hardwood forest with some rocky bluffs. Access is from U.S. 63, which parallels much of the upper Spring.
