What to Expect

At Rivers Edge Resort, the cool, clear spring-fed river creates an inviting spot for swimming and floating, perfect for soaking in Missouri swimming holes year-round. The resort buzzes with visitors, so expect a lively crowd sharing the space. Facilities cater to guests staying overnight, with no day-use option, ensuring a well-maintained environment but requiring a paid stay.

Tips for Visitors

Plan your visit during off-peak times to enjoy a bit more tranquility, as the resort draws many guests. Bring swimwear and essentials—you’re required to wear clothing in the water. Keep in mind that camping isn’t allowed, and day visits are not permitted without lodging, so booking ahead is essential to experience this popular Missouri cold spring resort.
