Summer has officially arrived the first time we go kayaking in Missouri for the season. Life on the water is just natural for those of us who live in Missouri, and most of us survive those brutally cold and snowy winters by counting down the days until we can bask in the sun on a float. Explore Missouri’s Meramec River aboard a kayak with Old Cove Canoe & Kayak this summer.

Slip into the water for a kayaking adventure with Old Cove Canoe & Kayak in Saint Clair, an outdoor outfitter that earns rave reviews from outdoor lovers.

If you prefer a short but sweet float, opt for the short float trip, a leisurely 4.5-mile journey that takes between two and three hours.

The long float trip, on the other hand, tallies 9.5 miles and takes between five and six hours. It's perfect if you want to while the day away on the water.
