About

This is a small, quiet access and camping area along the Big Piney River. Slabtown is downriver from Mason Bridge, about 8 miles. This stretch is more open and deeper. Traveling downriver from Slabtown you can paddle or boat to Ross Bridge, a 10 mile trip. This section is faster and shallower. Between Ross Bridge and <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mtnf/recarea/?recid=21814">East Gate</a>, a 12-mile float, you will be floating through Fort Leonard Wood. Ross Bridge will be the last take-out before you float through Fort Leonard Wood. The 1-mile Slabtown Bluff Trail offers hiking along scenic bluffs overlooking the Big Piney River and surrounding bluffs and rock outcrops.
