You push off from a braided shoreline and the raft answers with a low, pleasurable creak. Warm air slides over your shoulders; the Great River threads through steep, forested banks that lean in like curious hosts. Your raft captain propels the 30‑ft bamboo craft with practiced poles, steering you past riffles, pocketed pools and limestone shelves where the current dares you to slow down and listen.
