The Elk River
Our Elk River Float Trips range from Class I to Class II, making them ideal for first-time floaters and those looking to kick back and relax with friends. The Elk River offers crystal clear waters, beautiful views of bluffs, gravel bars and swimming areas. Float from Pineville to Ginger Blue, Ginger Blue to Noel, or Pineville to Noel.
We always recommend a reservation, whether its a busy holiday weekend or a slow day throughout the week. When you arrive everything is taken care of, so you can worry about other things like who grabbed the fishing poles, and where you set down the cooler.
