I’m planing on going on a floating trip with some friends sometimes this month. I have been to one before, I think it was past the lake of ozark. I would lobe to go to that same if you can help me.

I would love to take my son on an extended float trip covering the entire current river. Can anybody suggest a canoe rental place that would accommodate that kind of trip?

Hi Audrey, the Black River sure is a good one to try. Here’s a link to the outfitters on the Black River http://www.floatmissouri.com/plan/outfitter/ Have fun on your float!

I have never been a float trip and want to go with like a few friends(about 4 or 5 besides me) and I know I want to float all day, being able to stop and cook food and then float some more and then at the end, get in our cars and go home. Where and who do I need to contact? Im from Indiana and moved to Arnold MO and have no clue what rivers/packages are good. Kinda wanna go sometime before 3 week in July. (Im going home to Indiana by then. lol)

Am looking for a place that has cabins, we’re in Fenton area. It would be about 12 mothers and daughters over 21 and we can be loud Any suggestions?

you may not want to “cook” while on the float trip. most just take stuff for sandwiches or premade sandwiches, chips, Snickers on a float are a must! Most people do not want to drive after they have been on the river all day – consider camping or staying in a cabin or lodge when you get out of the river. Rafting Company, Birds Nest, Bass River Resort – all are good/great places to float. Bass River float the Courtois. At Birds Nest – they have a great swimming hole at the camp ground. Birds Nest and Rafting Company have a float that will take you by a cold water spring – lots of fun to stop here and see if you can stand the really really cold water!! Good luck!!

I love in OK, every year my friends and I go to Noel, MO to float the Elk River. We always stay at River Ranch Resort and they are great! I would not recommend this place for children, however. ERR has a FB page. Check then out.
