Floating on the Meramec River

Rafting

Rafting is perfect for families or groups looking for a fun and social experience on the water. Our 4-man rafts seat 3 adults with one cooler, 6-man rafts seat 4 adults with one cooler, and 8-man rafts accommodate 6 adults with two coolers.

Kayaking

For solo adventurers, our single-seat kayaks offer an immersive and personal way to explore the river. Glide through the water at your own pace and take in the surrounding natural beauty.

Canoeing

Our canoes are perfect for a relaxing journey down the river, typically seating two people along with one cooler. Enjoy a peaceful and classic float experience as you paddle through serene stretches of the Meramec.

Tubing

Tubing is the ultimate in relaxation. Choose from a half-mile gravel bar loop or a three-mile float option. Whether you’re soaking up the sun or drifting with the current, tubing is a great way to unwind on the Meramec.

Whether you prefer canoeing, kayaking, tubing, or rafting, we have the perfect float for you. We look forward to making your river adventure unforgettable!
