I'd say the Current, the Black and the Meramec are the party rivers, based on my experience!

I really want to float the Eleven Point, never done that one.

I agree. However, the Meramec is my least favorite "party" river. Just too slow. The Current at Van Buren is my favorite party river.

I can vouche for the eleven point...it's awesome. Not a huge party river, but it's very scenic with just enough people on the water to have a blast.

Believe it or not, the James River at Hootontown just outside of Springfield is a good morning float for super cheap. And the James River at Galena is very nice.

A couple of posts ago, I suggested that the Jack's Fork plays second fiddle to the Current. Actually, I love the Jack's Fork! I think it's one of the best rivers in Missouri. However, for the "party" experience, in my opinion you need to tube the Current at least once per Summer.
