The movement of the water and the warmth of the sun have even been known to lull some tubers to sleep. There are one-day and two-day trips so you can decide how long to float.
You'll pass by a number of lovely natural and manmade features.

Some of the trips start from Smith Falls, so you can gaze at the state's tallest waterfall before setting out. You may notice some small waterfalls along the way - there are plenty of them along the river - and a few historic bridges.
Sharp's Campground also offers kayaking and canoeing trips for those who want to be a little more active while traveling the river.
