CANOEING and KAYAKING

When you arrive at our location, just come on in the office or read the note on the door.  You should bring a lockable cooler (or strap a bungee cord around it) with plenty of drinks and food.  Our friendly staff will shuttle you up the river for either a full day or half day float- your choice. We do not drop off for the full float past noon and the half float past 2.  A leisurely pace(including stops) is about 2 miles per hour.  You are welcome to take as much time as you want as long as you are back by 6pm.  When you return you are welcome to enjoy the river from our beach for the rest of the day.

WHAT SHOULD I RENT???
If you are unsure of your skills, rest at ease.  Our single person kayaks are the most stable, maneuverable, and comfortable way down the river.  They are beginner friendly.  Be sure to bring a medium to small cooler.  the storage platform behind the seat will not accommodate a large cooler.

Helpful Tips:

1. Wear shoes that tie or regular water shoes....a lot of people loose flip-flops.
2. Pack all items in a water proof bag (dry bag) that you don't want to get wet, tie all items to the canoe, and leave things you don't want to lose, rings, watches, billfolds, money, necklaces, etc.
3. Bring sunscreen, and bug spray. 
4. Bring something to keep glasses or sunglasses on.
5. Bring back as much as you take with you ...cans, paper, but don't litter our river...pack out what you pack in.  We support and practice Leave No Trace wilderness ethics, and strongly urge you to also.
6. If you are with a group, plan for a lead and a tail canoe, and no one should get out from between them.
7. If you must cancel...have the courtesy to call us and let us know.
8. All fisherman must have a fishing license, the fine for fishing without a license is quite high.
9. All children under age 13 must wear their life jacket at all times, this is a state law.
10.  If you have a disability that hinders your ability to perform occasional strenuous activity, we do not recommend this adventure.


CAMPING

PictureBuffalo River Property Overview
If you are looking for nice manicured campsites like a state park, then you should look elsewhere for now.  I am reclaiming the land for pleasure use, but make no mistake, you are in the wilderness.  Camping is allowed anywhere on the property.  There is ample room for groups of all sizes.  If you wish to stay near the river, there are several spots that have been camped on and in great shape.  There are gravel paths along the camping area.  STAY ON THE GRAVEL.  You will get stuck if it rains and there is a minimum $100 pullout fee.  If you want a nice soft grassy spot, you can camp on the cleared area at the top of the hill.  Self contained RV's can park anywhere at the top.  Phase two of the project will include full RV hookups.
