Our float trips start upstream and float back to camp.
On Saturdays you can stop at either Sycamore Landing or at River Ranch. We offer an 8 mile and a 5 mile float trip. The 8 mile is the most popular for a full day on the river. The 5 mile can be made to last all day if you choose to make several stops. We offer both plastic and aluminum canoes.
5mi float: first trip 8:00am, cut off is 2:00pm. (cut off 1:00pm Aug & Sept, 12:00pm Oct)
8mi float: first trip 8:00am, cut off is 11:30am. (availability based on river levels)
