About
This scenic float trip is a mild ride with just a few ripples along the way. It is a great option for families with young children or for anyone who would rather float than paddle. Our guides do all the work using an oar frame so you just sit back and enjoy the ride, however, paddle trips may be requested. No experience is necessary. All children should be of walking age, usually 2 years old but younger is okay if they can walk sufficiently on their own and weigh at least 30 lbs (for life jacket rating). DO NOT wear jeans or heavy cotton clothing. Arrive at Three Rivers Resort 30-45 minutes in advance of trip time.
