There are no known liveries or outfitters operating along Courtois Creek. At least two known commercial outfitters offer rentals, shuttles and/or river information on nearby Huzzah Creek. Bring everything you need and run your own shuttles, or connect with other boaters to arrange shuttles, if not renting from one of the local outfitters.
Courtois Creek Description
Eastern Washington and western Crawford Counties in the Mark Twain National Forest of the southcentral Missouri Ozarks. The Community of Brazil is near the headwaters and Washington CR 657, where runs begin. Courtois Creek is simply gorgeous - and very popular with local paddlers. Its normal character is that of a lazy stream that flows to the Meramec River between Meramec Springs Park and Meramec Caverns. Paddlers have the option of taking out at the Crawford County Highway E bridge at 21.5 miles, or continuing on down the Meramec River to any of the numerous outfitters operating there. Depending upon flow, paddler conditioning and time available, the Courtois Creek run will be a full day on the water for many boaters. Redundant though it may be, this is another great place to bring your camera and save some wonderful memories. Another excellent characteristic of Courtois Creek is its very close proximity to Huzzah Creek to the west, which flows into Courtois Creek just above the Meramec River confluence, so paddlers can run any of these three waterways without having to drive very far between them. This is shallow creek boating at its finest under normal flow conditions, as many local paddlers already know.
Courtois Creek (pronounced "coda way") is a stream in Southern Missouri that flows into the Meramec River. It shares its name with the nearby Courtois, Missouri.
