Visitor Tips
Doniphan is the county seat on the Current River. The county's position at the confluence of multiple Ozark scenic rivers makes it a destination for float fishing and canoeing enthusiasts, and the Mark Twain National Forest covers much of the county's rugged terrain.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the Ozark community spirit of a county where the Current and Black rivers define the landscape and float fishing is a way of life.
About Ripley County Fair
The Ripley County Fair in Doniphan celebrates a southeast Missouri Ozark county on the Current River where the Black River's tributary valleys and the Eleven Point River headwaters create some of the finest float fishing terrain in Missouri — the county's timber, cattle, and small farm operations support communities in a county where the river culture is central to identity.
