In fact, did you know that Missouri has 30 waterways that are recommended for floating and canoeing by the Missouri Canoe & Floaters Association? That’s a lot of water … and a lot of float trips in Missouri! Sure, summer in the Show-Me State is all about epic barbecues and cookouts, trips to the local pool or lake, and plenty of day trips around the state, but on those days when you want to stay cool while embarking on an adventure, there’s nothing better than climbing into an inner tube and setting off down a natura lazy river! We recommend you make a beeline for the Current River, where you can set off on one of the longest float trips in Missouri float trips.

Riverfront Campground and Canoe Rental in Lebanon, Missouri, is one of our all-time favorite places for summer tubing adventures. Why? Because, as its name suggests, it offers tubing and camping, making for a really fun and easy-to-plan summer escapade! The best part is, if you're not into camping, there are some well-appointed cabins on-site that have all the comforts you could possibly want, including a kitchen with a stove and a microwave, a bathroom with a shower, and air conditioning! Yes, please! Of course, if you're into the primitive tent camping experience, you can most certainly do that here, and you'll be pleased to learn that you can literally pitch a tent right on the water!
Don't worry — this epic destination isn't all camping and no tubing; nestled on 250 acres on the Niangua River, the riverfront campground's masterpiece is the river and its activities — from tubing to canoeing. In fact, Riverfront Campground and Canoe Rental offers two types of floating trips — the standard and the two-day float trip. Standard float trips run between 3.5 and eight miles. Guests can opt to rent a canoe, a kayak, a tube, or a raft. This is the kind of epic outdoor adventure we live for here at Only In Missouri, and we guarantee it might be your best summer adventure yet!
What are some other things to do during the summer in Missouri?
If you're looking for more aquatic adventures in Missouri, you must go swimming in the shut-ins. Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park is one of our favorites, boasting hiking trails, picnic areas, and a natural water park. Although the shut-ins can get quite crowded, especially on hot days, you have a pretty good chance of finding a quiet spot to cool off and to swim. However, you'll probably want to slip on a pair of water shoes, which will help you climb on the rocks that also make perfect natural water slides! This is an only-in-Missouri experience for your summer bucket list, for sure.
