Float Trip Options

 

1. Hammond to Blair Bridge-The Upper Half

 

We bus you and all of your gear to Hammond Mill. The float trip from Hammond to Blair Bridge will last about five hours, straight float time. You will float back to your camp. This is the most scenic float since the river flows through several hundred acres of the Mark Twain National Forest.

 

2. Blair Bridge to Dawt Mill-The Lower Half

 

You put in at the campground/ramp. The float trip from Blair Bridge to Dawt will last about four hours, straight float time. You let us know what time you want to be picked up. We will pick you up at Dawt Mill and bus you back to camp.

 

For those who want to float two days or more, Pettit's Campground makes a good half-way stopping point. You can come in and set up camp. We take you up river the first day and you float back to your camp. The second day you float down the river to Dawt Mill and we pick you up and bring you back to your camp. This eliminates hauling all your gear in your kayak and probably guarantees a dry bed for a good night sleep.

 

Our kayaks are designed for one person.  All of our kayaks are designed to be sat upon. The kayaks are designed for any size of floater. We furnish a paddle and a flotation cushion with each kayak. We do have a limited number of life jackets for rent.
