| River | Bates County Drainage Ditch |
| Notes | The Bates County Drainage Ditch is the channelized portion of the Marais des Cygnes River. It's treated as a separate river here but they are both interconnected at several points and the same gauge is used for both. To see the river level for the drainage ditch, see the gauge for the Marais des Cygnes. |

Then, we paddled downstream of the boat ramp to check out a rocky riffle area where we found a Yellowbelly Watersnake, several Western Ribbonsnakes, lots of Southern Leopard Frogs, and maybe a few Plains Leopard Frogs. We also found Northern Cricket Frogs here and a Bullfrog, Northern Cricket Frogs, and Southern Leopard Frogs at the boat ramp. No USGS gauge for this river and date Source: Edmond |

The original River Trips application is no longer updated (as of 1 Dec 2016) but can be checked for errors or for the condition of the data before it was converted to the new system.
