The Castor River Shut-Ins at Amidon Memorial Conservation Area - No. 3
Seen in Explore August 13, 2018.
The Castor River Shut-Ins is located near Fredericktown, Missouri. A “shut-in” is an Ozark term for a river that is naturally confined within a deep, narrow channel that becomes unnavigable even by canoe due to the rapids and narrow channels produced as the stream encounters a more resistant rock that is more difficult to erode. The Castor River Shut-Ins are unique in that they are the only Missouri shut-in carved out of a pinkish granite that is 1.5 billion years old. The Castor River Shut-Ins is part of the Amidon Memorial Conservation Area.
