Welcome to The Landing – Current River, your gateway to the stunning beauty of Missouri’s Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Located in the heart of Van Buren, we offer a truly all-in-one experience where you can eat, sleep, and float—all in one place.

For over 40 years, we’ve been part of this river community, helping guests create unforgettable memories on the crystal-clear waters of the Current River. Choose from tubes, kayaks, canoes, or rafts and float past towering bluffs, gravel bars, and some of the most pristine wilderness in the Midwest—all just steps from your front door.

With 54 riverfront lodge rooms, you're never far from the sound of the water or the warmth of the sun. After a day on the river, unwind in comfort just feet from the shoreline. Then head to the Blue Heron Restaurant, where legendary meals and sweeping views of the river come together for the perfect end to a perfect day.

As an official National Park Service concessioner within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, we’re proud to help preserve and share one of America’s most treasured landscapes. At The Landing, you’re not just visiting—you’re part of a tradition. Eat. Sleep. Float. Explore the Current River. Experience Big Spring. Start it all right here.
