The Float

Eight Miles of Buffalo River Adventure

Leave your vehicle at our secure riverside location, and we’ll shuttle you and your equipment eight miles upriver to the launch point. From there, enjoy a peaceful float back to your vehicle—no coordinating multiple cars and no waiting for a return shuttle.

The average float time is 4–6 hours, depending on river conditions and how often you stop. Our stretch of the Buffalo River offers a quieter, less-crowded experience, giving you more room to relax, explore the gravel bars, swim, fish, and enjoy the beautiful wooded scenery at your own pace.

Every kayak rental includes:

  • A single or tandem kayak
  • Paddle and personal flotation device
  • Secure parking
  • Shuttle service to the launch point

Bring drinks, sunscreen, appropriate footwear, and anything else you need for a comfortable day on the river. The last launch is at 3:00 PM, and all kayakers must return before dark.
