Details
It's that time of year again... FLOAT-AVERSARY 2025!!
MEETUP PLACE: Gypsy Camp & Canoe!
20271 AR-59, Siloam Springs, AR 72761
Contact number - +1 (479) 238-5396
Distance - 4 Mile float
MEETUP TIME: 10 am start (highly recommend 9:45 arrival)
Rafts are $197 for 6 people (Including taxes. So, approx $33 each)
You can book Kayaks (32$) and Canoes as well
You will be in charge of your own group and rental. They are expecting us - let them know you're with NWA 20’s & 30’s Meetup Group at 10 am arrival. If you book online post in the group your name on the reservation and I'll call to bundle everyone together before.
You can call to book but booking online is the easiest:
For any single peeps or smaller groups out there - comment on this Event page and we will put together a raft for anyone that doesn't have 6 people so it's cheaper to split! We usually end up swapping around rafts to meet new people along the way anyway.
This float starts at the Siloam Springs Kayak Park where they've made some rapids to play in but you can put your boat in just below this and skip it if you're not feeling up for it. Other than this spot, this is a very easy and beginner float. It is a total of 4 miles and takes 2-3 hours when the river is flowing and you aren't stopping. We will be making stops to play games and chill out a bit though so plan on more of a 4 hour float.
WHAT TO BRING: • Payment if you did not book online • Water shoes. Flip flops really aren't that much fun on the river but they will work if its all you have. • Beverages. Beer, Booze, Juice, Water - whatever you want. Just NO GLASS CONTAINERS. Pro Tip: bring a koozie or an insulted cup to keep your drink cold. • Food/Snacks. Its a short float so you won't need tons of food but pack some snacks. Sealed ziplock bags will be your best friend so things won't get soggy. • Sunscreen. Yes, I'm going to be the group mom and remind you to all bring sunscreen. • Hat. Not a bad idea for keeping the sun off your face but you do you, boo. • Cooler with ice. If you have one, bring it! We'll try to consolidate so we aren't bringing 15 million coolers on the float. ABSOLUTELY NO STYROFOAM! • Good attitude. We are here to have fun and be social so leave your grumpy britches, whiny pants, complaining attitude at home. ;) • Waterproof speaker. Bonus points for someone that can bring some tunes. • Dry clothes and a towel. It makes ALL the difference to be able to change out of your wet suit into dry clothes for the drive pack. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
