Illinois River Kayak & Taproom Adventure

  • Farmer's Park – Springfield 2144 East Republic Road Springfield, MO, 65804 (map)

Join us for a fun day kayaking the Illinois River and craft beer. The Illinois River starts southwest of Fayetteville, AR, and flows for 145 miles until it dumps into the Arkansas River. We will be doing a 4.5-mile beginner-friendly float on the Upper Illinois River. We will stop at  shade-filled banks and swimming holes along the way.  After an afternoon on the water, we will head to Creekside Taproom for a drink on us. *Kids 12 and under need to be on a tandem kayak with an adult

Guest Note: Due to this season's uncharacteristic weather, the destinations for your float is subject to change. Trust our expert guides, who are deeply familiar with the intricate nuances of Arkansas rivers, to select the optimal route for a safe and unforgettable experience.
