TESTIMONIAL

What They Say

Owners are incredibly helpful and friendly. Rental equipment is in excellent condition! Prices can't be beat!

Chuck Walsh

We've floated here a handful of times now and we love it. Last year I called around to many different kayak/canoe rental places in the area and this was by far the cheapest float I found. Always a plus! It's also closer to NWA than most businesses I called. Another plus in our book! One thing I really like about this place is they allow shuttles up until 3pm. Perfect for those of us who aren't morning people and prefer a later float. We've swam here, fished here, and floated. We love it all and will continue to be customers!

Chelsea Ware

Very convenient spot for family camping and floating. Easy access to the river and helpful staff. The shorter float they offer starts upstream and ends at the campground so super easy if you want to take some kids out and not risk a lengthy shuttle or wait at the end of the day when everyone is tired.

Nick Pierce

Great people, fantastic float trip. Will 100% come back, probably this weekend lol

Chris

Fantastic camping right on the river! Stunning view. We stayed here on the Trans-America Trail and would absolutely come back.
