Jack's Fork River is one of three rivers in Missouri that are part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways system.

Starting in Texas county, this spring fed river flows some 44 miles in a general east to northeasterly direction through the heart of the geological area known as the Lower Ozark Natural Division. It is the major tributary of the Current River, ending at its confluence near Emminence, Missouri.
