Transported upstream by the Riverview Ranch shuttle, pairs and quartets embark upon scenic float trips down the Meramec River at either the 5- or 10-mile mark. Paddle along the calm, flat waters while enjoying views of the tree-lined riverbank, arriving back at your campsite or vehicle at the end of the trip. Two-seat canoes are provided for every two people, along with life jackets (for paddlers aged 10 or older, though parents may bring life jackets for younger kids), and paddles. The length of the trip depends on how much paddling you do or how many stops you make, but the 5-mile trip averages three hours.

Campers set up tents right on the riverbank, making it easy to while away an afternoon swimming, cooking over the campfire, and picnicking. Children younger than 5 camp for free.
