Caveman Floating Presents: Float down the beautiful, meandering Meramec River in a canoe, kayak or raft and see some great river and wildlife scenery. Bring the entire family or your group down for a day or weekend trip. All Floats end at Meramec Caverns.

Prices and Float times are subject to change. In the event of high river levels or extreme weather, where CFC cancels a float, reservation deposit will not be refunded, but applied to a future floating date. There will be an additional charge of $35 for an extra person in rafts.

6-Mile Canoe Float: This float takes you upriver to Meramec State Park. During these 6 miles, you will have many opportunities to stop and enjoy the scenery or maybe even settle down on one of the many sand bars and have a picnic. The area is known for great catfish and small mouth bass fishing.

Our rafts are large commercial sized rafts that can accommodate the maximum person load, plus several coolers comfortably. Rafts are great for large groups of people or families with children. NO PETS IN RAFTS.
