The Longest Float Trip In Missouri Will Bring Your Summer Tubing Dreams To Life

During the summer, there's nothing better than tubing in Missouri. Did you know that Missouri has 30 waterways that are recommended for floating and canoeing by the Missouri Canoe & Floaters Association? That's a lot of water ... and a lot of float trips in Missouri.

Sure, summer in the Show-Me State is all about epic barbecues and cookouts, trips to the local pool or lake, and plenty of day trips around the state, but on those days when you want to stay cool while embarking on an adventure, there's nothing better than climbing into an inner tube and setting off down a natural lazy river. We recommend you make a beeline for the Current River, where you can set off on one of the longest float trips in Missouri. If you don't want the adventure to end, camp out at this water playground, too. Ready for the adventure of the summer?

Explore the Current River on a tube, a raft, a kayak, or a canoe with KC's on the Current in Donophan. The company offers several different float trips in Missouri.

We love tubing in Missouri, and KC's on the Current offers some of the best.

Prefer meandering down the Current on a tube? You'll only have one choice: the six-mile float that takes between four and five hours. Choose between several tubes, too, including the regular, the cooler, and the Cadillac.

If you're up for a longer adventure, set off on a kayak or a canoe on the six-mile, 12-mile, or 21-mile float trip, the latter of which typically takes seven to eight hours.

For a trip that takes as many as nine hours, embark on the 21-mile Bay Nothing float on a raft.

This is one of the best lazy rivers in Missouri for a float.

Once you've finally decided which float trip you'd like best and register for that float, you'll hop on a bus that will take you to the launch site.

You'll have to follow a few rules on your trip. Bringing along the kiddos? They must wear life jackets.

Do not bring glass containers or bottles on your float trip. You're welcome to bring along a fishing pole if you'd like to see if the fish are biting.

If you're not ready for the adventure to end when your float trip does, reserve a tent camping site or an RV site.

Wander down the Current River on a tube, a kayak, a canoe, or a raft during the float season, which typically runs through Labor Day.
