A day on the water is akin to spending time in paradise for many outdoor lovers. Life in Missouri means the opportunity to spend as much time as we want on and in the water. Even if you’re a newbie to such water adventures as kayaking, you’ll find that it’s really easy to get started. In fact, the best place for beginner kayakers in Missouri just might be a float on Lake Taneycomo.
Discover the sheer magic of kayaking with a kayaking adventure with White River Kayaking in Hollister, a kayak and canoeing outfitter that’s perfect for newbies as well as pros.
Kayaking’s a fun sport for adventurers of all ages, including the little ones. You can even bring along a kiddo who will sit on your lap as long as they don’t interfere with you paddling.
White River Kayaking recommends its three-mile Turkey Creek Float. The two-hour float provides a taste of kayaking as you paddle to and explore Lake Taneycomo.
Before you even slip into the water, however, a staff member will provide you with details on what you can expect during your adventure. It’s the perfect time to ask any questions you may have, too.
Once you’ve got the hang of it, you can try one of the other floats – the 3.5-mile Tanglewood trip or the 8.5-mile Hatchery float. A hike and paddle tour and guided tours are also available.
Kayaking is seasonal. While you do not have to make reservations, White River Kayaking strongly encourages reservations so you secure a spot on the float trip you want.
