Boaters can paddle nine whitewater features as they pass beneath the new Springfield Regional Medical Center. In addition, the natural limestone shelf-rapids further upstream complete a 6 mile run from Buck Creek State Park, through downtown, to the confluence of the Mad River. An added bonus - the Friends of Buck Creek have secured 'Weekend Recreational Releases' through the fall from C.J. Brown Dam & Reservoir via the US Army Corps of Engineers. The releases run every Saturday and Sunday from mid September through November.
