🌊 **DID YOU KNOW? PULASKI COUNTY IS ABSOLUTELY LOADED WITH WATER.**
You don't have to travel far in Pulaski County to find another river, creek or spring.
💧 **100+ miles of the Gasconade River** wind through Pulaski County.
💧 **33 miles of the Big Piney River** follow the county's eastern side — fed by Ozark springs that help keep it flowing even through drought.
And those are just the big ones.
Pulaski County is also home to **Roubidoux Creek, Little Piney Creek, Tavern Creek, Bell Creek** and countless smaller creeks, spring branches and tributaries.
MDC even notes that **Pulaski County has a large number of springs and caves**, a result of the karst landscape beneath our feet.
🎣 Roubidoux Creek offers **spring-fed trout water**.
🎣 The Gasconade includes a **17-mile Smallmouth Bass Special Management Area** in Pulaski County.
🎣 The Big Piney is one of the Ozarks' standout rock bottom smallmouth streams.
That means one relatively small corner of the Missouri Ozarks gives you everything from broad, winding river water to clear spring-fed streams, trout water, gravel bars, swimming holes and smallmouth habitat.
**At least 133 miles of the Gasconade and Big Piney alone — before we even start counting the creeks.**
Maybe Pulaski County isn't just in the heart of the Ozarks.
🌊 **Maybe we're living in Missouri's river country.**
