"We went floating on 8/3/2025 with a party of 10. Ages 10 to 74. It was a great time. The staff was helpful and the quick ride to drop off and from pick up was in a nice bus. Here are my thoughts:
-If you bring kids bring something to hold the rocks and indian beads you collect. There are a million!
-Note that anyone under 13 has to have their float attached to a parent
-We didn't pack a lot of food as we planned to float then go for lunch/dinner. However, once we got there we wished we would have packed food and stayed on the river longer.
-The river isn't very wide so that helps keep the water warm even though it has been dipping down at nights.
-At the end there were 3 employees from Bum River waiting inside the water to help us out of our raft. There are about 10 very steep, very high steps, followed by a walk up a steep hill to get to the bus. We were all fine with it and the employees were happy to help if needed.
-We found the river to be clean
-The rapids were nothing to be too concerned with. I did have to push off one of the rocks but even my 71 year old mother said "It's too bad we can't get out and do that part again". Note: The river was up when we went.
We will return."
