Ozark National Scenic Riverways
The Ozark National Scenic Riverways consist of the Current River and Jacks Fork River. These two rivers were the first river systems protected by the National Park Service. They mention that these rivers "are two of the finest floating rivers you'll find anywhere". Both of the rivers are all spring-fed by some of the largest and deepest springs around.
Trail System:
There are numerous trails that wind through the National Park property. Instead of restating all trails that are listed on the website, I'll provide a link to the website that highlights trails here. The Ozark Trail also winds though a 30 mile section of the river as well.
Camping, Recreation, and Floating:

Floating info linked here. River levels may be checked here. Because the rivers are spring-fed, many sections may be floated during drought period.
Other info:
The riverways were dedicated by the National Park Service in 1964 and formally dedicated in 1971. The park includes the United States' largest collection of first magnitude springs and is home to one of the largest springs in the world, Big Spring. The park is over 80,000 acres and welcomes an average of 1.3 million visitors a year. Round Spring Cavern, Devil's Well/Cave Spring, and Jam-Up Cave are some of the area's hundred of caves.
