The Meramec River, which flows through St. Louis and the Ozarks, is one of Missouri’s finest floating and fishing rivers. The Meramec was recently recognized as the 10th greatest river in the United States for canoeing camping.
ADVENTURE OUTDOOR, which was founded in 2006 and operates in the river rafting and camping services. The company recommends guests paddle on the floats in order to avoid drifting and getting stranded. Additionally, the company notes that Missouri state law requires all craft to have a flotation device for each person on board. For guests with young children, the company suggests rafts as a safer option to avoid flipping.
The upper float is a 9 mile float and is estimated to take Canoes 5.5 hours and rafts 7 hours.
The 6 MILE float is estimated for Canoes to take 4.5 hours, rafts 5.5 hours (add extra time for frequent stops).
We provide 17′ canoes, two paddles, and two seat cushions or life jackets per canoe. You are responsible for missing or damaged equipment. Two people per canoe plus gear is advised.
The cost of transportation is included in the rental price.
If you don’t want to bring all of your equipment with you, consider Adventure Outdoors as a base camp.
