Description: Arrive early to beat the crowds. Once the parking lot is full, the park no longer allows you to enter. You must leave a vehicle at the south parking lot before you begin to float. A shuttle van will take the driver back to the north parking lot to join the rest of the group. When you’re done floating a tram will take everyone to the south parking lot.
There are multiple places on the river you can start your trip. You can start at the springs, mid-point launch, or Dampier’s landing. Each of these can be floated to the last take-out or you can choose to exit at Dampier’s landing and walk 5 minutes back to your car.
Length:
Springs to Last Take Out: 3 miles
Mid-Point to Last Take Out: 1.5 miles
Dampier’s Landing to Last Take Out: 1 mile
Cost: See park website for details.
Note: This gauge does not tell the depth of the water throughout the entire float. It is measured in a single place to give an overall idea of the height of the river compared to other days measurements.
