Missouri's Huzzah Creek & Courtois Creek These two clearwater gems, which join their waters to the Meramec River in Crawford County, are only about 100 miles from St. Louis. Although they are too small to provide adequate floating water at all seasons, the angler will find them pleasant and profitable floating-wading streams. In seasons of good water, the canoeist will find them quite sporty. Their valleys are relatively unspoiled and have real Ozarks atmosphere. It would be wise to check water levels of these creeks at Hwy. 8 bridges before attempting floats upstream from the highway. The names of the creeks are pronounced locally as Coort-a-way and Hoo-za. Water quality is generally very good to excellent, flowing clean, clear and slow. There are at least two known commercial campgrounds and numerous primitive campsites located along Huzzah Creek, the primitive sites being available on a first-come basis. HUZZAH VALLEY RESORT is located in Steelville.
