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 8am only for this float. This float goes through the Siloam Springs Kayak Park at mile 8- with Class I & II Rapids.
