Yes. I lived in the Missouri Ozarks (Taney County) before Branson became
Nashville West and Vegas West for the entertainers and tourists, and just
when the Wild Rivers Act was being enacted. That is truly precious canoeing
and kayaking water on the rivers there in Arkansas and Missouri. Of course,
locals at the time the laws were passed were not entirely happy. It was not
at all unusual to be drifting and have to carry over a craft because locals
felled trees across the streams to block what they figured would be millions
of trespassors ... I recall on one trip, having someone on a river bank
shooting off what sounded like a 12 guage over our heads for several rounds
...
