Roubidoux Creek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roubidoux Creek is a scenic tributary to the Gasconade River in south central Missouri. Due to its colder water temperatures, it is listed as trout stream. Roubidoux Spring is a landmark that is nestled three and a half miles south from the confluence of the creek and the Gasconade. The creek cuts north through Fort Leonard Wood before crossing underneath Interstate 44 and into the city limits of Waynesville.

 The Roubidoux joins the Gasconade River just north of Waynesville, Missouri and the confluence can be seen from Missouri State Route 17 highway, along with some spectacular bluffs which are common on the Gasconade River.  Trout can be caught in the Gasconade a short distance down stream from the Roubidoux.  The water warms quickly in the Gasconade, and the trout don't venture far.  All in all, a gem in the Ozarks!
