Where We Are

We live, work and play in and around Van Buren, Missouri, the county seat of Carter County.

Our small town of Van Buren is on the Current River in Southeastern Missouri. The Current River is big part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways Park along with Jack’s Fork River. Our area offers opportunities for boating, floating and fishing. Besides watersports, you can hike, camp, ride horseback, visit historic sites, and visit numerous springs.

Big Spring, located 4 miles outside of Van Buren, is the largest freshwater spring in Missouri and one of the largest in the United States. It is an enormous spring discharging nearly 470 cubic feet of water per second with an average daily flow of 286 million gallons of water.
