Summer was just made for leisurely floats, wouldn’t you say? Sure, we’ve got sandy beaches, swimming pools, and water parks, but there’s nothing quite as refreshing or relaxing. Even those of us who prefer hiding in the A/C will admit that a float does the soul a whole lot of good every now and then. When your thoughts turn to summer, keep this nighttime river float in Noel, Missouri, at the forefront. It’s a one-of-a-kind adventure in Missouri that should shoot straight to the top of your bucket list.

We all know that a float down the river, our feet dangling in the cool water, is an idyllic way to spend a summer day in Missouri, but what about the night owls among us and those who don’t have a lot of free time during the day? Well, we head to River Ranch Resort in Noel.

One of the coolest parts of the nighttime float is all of the tubes and rafts glow blue, red, green, and yellow. You’ll glow, too, thanks to glow sticks.
