Of all the rivers in Missouri, the one I think that might be the most underrated is the Current River. I think I can prove that thanks to a cabin I found that sits next to it with the river quite literally at the back door.

This is what's known as the Hawk's Nest near Doniphan, Missouri. It's an Airbnb that couldn't get closer to the Current River without being in it as the pics show.

Here's how Angela the host describes it on the Airbnb listing:

Welcome to "The Hawks Nest" on the Current River! This stunning cabin is the perfect place to relax with family and friends while enjoying beautiful scenery. The cabin features everything you need to enjoy a fun, relaxing stay. The deck has amazing views overlooking the water, great for morning coffee. A dock allows for easy access to the river, or simply a spot to soak up some sun on the loungers. The bonfire is the perfect place to wind down the evening with some s'mores.

The nightly cost to experience the Hawk's Nest is $177 as of this writing. There are even more pics, details and availability info on the full Airbnb listing.
