The Illinois River is 145 miles long and starts just southwest of Fayetteville, AR. The entire river is beautiful and is a true reflection of the Ozarks.

We offer The OG 4 mile float on the Upper Illinois River with scenic views, great beaches, and crystal clear water. We shuttle from Gypsy Camp to the Siloam Springs Kayak Park to begin our float. The Kayak Park offers a mild section of Class I & II Rapids (optional on weekdays). The float then meanders downstream at a gentle pace.

The Explorer’s Expedition 12 mile float begins at Chamber Springs Public Access, East of Siloam Springs on HWY 412. This float takes in a beautiful section of the Illinois River. This is a long float taking most groups, ALL DAY! We offer shuttles at 9am only for this float. This float goes through the Siloam Springs Kayak Park at mile 8- with Class I & II Rapids.

NEW 2024 FLOAT OPTIONS! Starting Memorial Day Weekend, we will be offering two new floats!

We will offer The Rapids Run 6 mile float from Gypsy Camp to our Private Take Out, just past the new WOKA Whitewater Park in Watts, OK. This will be a great float, taking you through the Class II & III Rapids at the end of your trip. You will then be shuttled back to Gypsy Camp at 3PM/5PM.

There will also be a new Park to Park Odyssey 9 mile trip from Siloam Springs Kayak Park to our Private Take out, just past WOKA. You will be able to hit BOTH Kayak Parks in one trip! This one will also end with a shuttle back to your vehicle at 3PM/5PM.
