Roaring River
Roaring River is a river in the Ozark Mountains of southwest Missouri. It is approximately 57 miles long and has a drainage basin of 329 square miles. The river was named for the sound of the water as it cascades over rocks and boulders. The hydrology of the river is characterized by periodic flooding, with the highest flows occurring in the spring and early summer. The river has several reservoirs, including Roaring River State Park Lake and Table Rock Lake, both of which are used for recreation and flood control. The Roaring River State Park has a trout hatchery and is a popular spot for fishing and camping. The river is also used for agricultural purposes, with many farms located along its banks. The Roaring River is steeped in history, with evidence of Native American occupation dating back thousands of years, and was later used by early settlers for transportation and industry.
