Ripley County, Missouri

Ripley County sits in the southeast of Missouri. The county’s got it all. Rolling hills, pristine forests, and some of the clearest springs you’ll ever see. Doniphan is the county seat, which sits right on the banks of the Current River.
Current River is a paddler’s dream come true. Speaking of the Current River, it’s part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. That means world-class canoeing, kayaking, and fishing are literally in your backyard.
You’ll find fascinating bits of history around every corner. Take the Current River Heritage Museum, for example. It’s packed with artifacts that tell the story of this unique corner of Missouri. It flies under the radar. But let me tell you, Ripley County is worth checking out.
