White River
White River runs 720 miles throughout the Ozark Mountains, including Eureka Springs. This river is a popular place for fishing and float trips. Float Eureka offers trips on the White River that will provide you with a shuttle and gear needed for the float. The float is approximately four hours long and is suitable for every age and skill level! Sit back and enjoy the views of the scenery or bring your fishing pole and fish right from your kayak or canoe.
Kings River
Similar to the White River, the Kings River is a free-flowing body of water used for float trips. Both Kings River Outfitters and Trigger Gap Outfitters offer family-friendly trips on the river. Enjoy the relaxing adventure on the river past rocky bluffs, tree-lined banks, and sloping gravel bars. The day trip options end at the Trigger Gap, where you will find a fantastic setting for swimming to end the trip!
