This place is the only place around open on weekdays who has tubes to float on. And has cheaper rafts than the other places. The one guy who drives you to the launching point could be a little more friendlier, but maybe he was tired. Lady and Owner is a nice people if u are friendly towards them. Nasty/ rude attitudes will get you no where which I'm sure a lot of the people had who have said the owner isn't nice. They do not give Miltary discount. Def a fun place to launch from. Tubes can only do the short float. 4.5 miles and takes 3-5 hours worth stopping to explore and have lunch.

I've never left a review like this, but this place earned it…read more The whole operation felt like it was run by tweakers. There was staff literally drinking and driving around the campsite while kids were playing 20 feet away. We waited almost 2 and a half hours just to get our floats dropped at the river. Then they hit my friends with a random $100 charge after everything was done. And it gets worse: they talked a few of my buddies into hauling and stacking all the rafts at the end of the day -- unpaid. When we called to ask about the extra charge, they straight up called my friends "pricks" The cherry on top? As I was leaving, one of the employees had their car doors wide open with what appeared to be a meth pipe and torch sitting right there on the seat. In broad daylight. Unsafe, shady, and completely unprofessional. Save your money and your sanity. We'll never go back.

Parking is plentiful at check-in. The staffs are extremely helpful at preparing life vests for us and putting us at the river. The end of the "ride" has a giant green flag, where the staffs help us get out of the water. We had amazing time and would recommend it. Tips: 1) the short trip was noted as 4 hours, though we finished in 2 hours. We recommend spending time parking our kayak at some beaches closeby for fun. 2) even though we selected a ride time of 9am, we are free to arrive any time before 12:30pm

While I still wish I could walk down to the river from the cabins, it's really the only negative for me. The cabin sleep 2 in a private room, plus 5 more in the main room (one twin and 2 bunk bed sets). The main room also has a big table in the middle of the room with chairs that came in very handle when it started raining at dinnertime. Our friends in the cabin next door came over and we all ate inside. The kitchen was nice too. Nothing special, but it did allow us to finish up some food in the oven and have a crockpot going all day while we were on the river. And it gave us a small fridge. I also like that the cabins are really spread out. There is a big field with the cabins lining it in a huge circle, so you only have cabins to your sides and that's it. It really was a great setup to have 2 cabins that sleep 7 next to each other for a big group.

It is a nice nature area nestled off Dalbow Road and near Highway 79. Here you have water access for your boats and jet skis. There are some spots available for picnicking and such too. I'd advise to arrive early if you intend on parking near the water access area since it has limited spacing for vehicles. The water that you will be getting in is a tributary off of the Mississippi River. Lots of people come down here to go fishing since they've got such an abundance of different fish such as bass, crappie, and catfish. Enjoy your visit!
