Floating promises sheer relaxation if you find the perfect setting to float in Missouri. After all, throw your tube into a public swimming pool, and your tranquility is likely to be consistently interrupted with bumps and “opps, sorry” from fellow swimmers. Solve that problem with a leisurely float down the Black River, where you can close your eyes, face to the sun, and cool down as your feet dangle in the water.
Lather on the sunscreen for your leisurely float down the Black River at Twin Rivers Landing, in Lesterville, which offers both one-day floats and camping.
Float prices range from $20 to $45 depending on your preferred flotation device. If you're bringing your own float, you must pay $15 for the shuttle ride should you need a ride back to the campground after your excursion.
