CANOING - KAYAKING - TUBING
For friends and family, church and scout groups, beginners and experts alike, all will enjoy the Caddo. The river has several really good swimming holes, and places to fish along the way, but Class I and II rapids are frequent and help do much of the "paddling" for you. In the late summer you may have to do more of the paddling yourself, but generally the Caddo stays a pretty good float, and in fact it's one of the most consistent floating rivers in Arkansas.
Kayaks grow more and more popular every year. The kids in particular enjoy this option!
In fact, compared to a canoe, they are much easier to handle!
For those that just want to get wet and and soak up the sun for a more relaxing float - come grab a tube!
Recommended Float Trips
7.5 Mile Float - From the "Narrows" to Glenwood (most popular)
16 Mile Float - From Norman to Glenwood (if the water is up)
8.5 Mile Float - From Glenwood to Amity 182 Bridge
There are several other float options available depending on the river level and time of year. The tube floats are also shorter than the above mentioned, but if you're wanting anything from a short "dip in the water" to a several day float trip, just give us a call, and we'll set you up for the best float on the Caddo!
We open at 8:00am 7 days a week, or earlier on request if you're those fisherman or floating fanatic type who just needs to get a jump on the day!
