New to floating? Here’s the simple version:

 

  1. Choose your rental — canoe, kayak, tube*, or cooler tube*
  2. Pick your trip — choose a 7-mile or 12-mile Fox River float.
  3. Call ahead — reserve your rental and confirm availability.
  4. Show up at C&M — we’ll help get you ready for the river.
  5. Enjoy your float — relax and make a day of it on the Fox River.
  6. Stick around after — head over to Fox River Tavern and keep the day going.
