Rafts
Rafts have become the favorite craft for many that spend the day on the water. They are a stable craft for those that are worried about tipping over. They can be great for kids to swim off of and for larger groups that want to hang out together.
Kayaks
With Kayaks, enjoy our most maneuverable craft we offer! Glide along the Elk River effortlessly with a single or enjoy it with a friend in one of our tandems.
Tubes
If you want a longer day out on the river to enjoy nature and truly “float” around… our tubes are perfect for you! We have both single and double tubes available.
Canoes
The oldest but certainly not least of our fleet, is the canoes. They’ve been floating this river for over 40 years. No better way to enjoy the Elk than hoping in a good ole canoe and paddling down the water.
Glow Float
