Floating Near Eureka Springseureka springs floating

Spring is probably the best time to plan a float in the Ozarks. Spring rains keep the flow going and budding trees make it one of the most colorful float trips around. The Kings River is a great option for a relaxing float with some small rapids to keep you interested. Pack binoculars if you have them because bald eagles nest in the trees bordering the river and fish right in front of you. Watch for cute floating turtles and enjoy the amazing scenery. The Kings River is not congested like some of the more popular rivers in the region so chances are, you will feel like the “King” of the river. Contact Kings River Outfitters or Riverside Canoes for canoe and kayak rentals, shuttles and guide services.
