Float Trips in the Ozarks
Spend a day floating the iconic Ozarks waterways. From the Buffalo River in Arkansas to the Meramec River outside of St Louis, you'll find some of the clearest waters that the area has to offer.
​
While you can float these navigable waters on your own, we recommend starting out with an outfitter that can provide you with the equipment and transportation that you need to make your first float trip a success.
