As our area of specialty, the Jack’s Fork offers 46 miles of beautiful winding, crystal clear waters with rock-covered bottoms. The upper Jack’s particularly is known for its scenery and breath-taking bluff views. Keep in mind that the upper Jack’s (above Alley Spring) is seasonal, meaning it is only floatable in the spring and will not have enough water typically past early June.

Walk-ins welcome on weekdays, but reservations are encouraged on weekends.

Please Note:

All time estimates are made assuming minimal stopping. If longer stops are made, the trip will last longer.

  • All rentals must return to takeout location by 6pm.
  • If floating Alley to Two Rivers, you must make it by the halfway point in Eminence by 1:30pm to have enough time to continue down to Two Rivers.

River depth permitting
All trips on the Jack’s Fork above Alley Spring are river depth permitting, meaning these trips are floatable only in the Spring and early Summer. Rentals will not be made typically past early June throughout the rest of the Summer. If unsure on conditions, please call to get updates on floatability prior to planning your trip on the upper Jack’s.

The Current River is similar to the Jack’s Fork in the aspect of having crystal blue waters and rocky bottoms. However, the Current River has more water and is a little bit wider than the Jack’s Fork. It also is frequented by motorboats, whereas the Jack’s Fork is not. Because of our distance from the Current River, we have more limited trip options and have to charge more than Jack’s Fork trips.

Reservations are required at least a day in advance.

Please Note:

Current River trips require longer travel time, so early start times are required and must be reserved at least a day in advance.

All time estimates are made assuming minimal stopping. If longer stops are made, the trip will last longer.

  • All rentals must return to takeout location by 6pm.

Overnight trips are the best way to maximize the experience of floating and primitive camping. On an overnight trip, you must pack all of your camping necessities into your floating vessel and camp on a gravel bar of your choice. Pickup location and time for transportation will be arranged prior to starting your trip.
