Float Trips – Canoeing, Kayaking, Floating the North Fork

Missouri Fly Fishing North Fork River

Float Trips 

Canoeing, Kayaking, and Rafting

The North Fork of the White River is fed by the 8th largest spring system in Missouri and there is plenty of water for floating year round. 

We are 30 minutes from West Plains MO, 2 hours from Springfield MO, and a 2 hour drive from Branson MO.

The river runs through our private property and is one of the best spots for float trips in Missouri. We shuttle you and the boat of your choice upstream so that you end up at your cabin. 

If you have floated the North Fork River before, we are located at the “Falls”. We are down river from Rainbow Springs and right in the middle of  the Blue Ribbon Trout section.

River of Life Farm LLC is permitted through the U.S. Forest Service as a licensed outfitter.

Important Safety Tips

  • DO NOT take a child through who is not wearing a life jacket or who is fastened into a chair, such as a child seat.
  • DO NOT drink excessive alcohol while canoeing. There is a direct correlation between blood alcohol content and accidents
    on the river.
  • DO NOT put your fingers over the edge of the canoe, as if you brush aside a rock you can do severe damage to your fingers.
  • DO NOT have expensive items laying loose in the canoe. They should be in a Dry Bag that floats, and be fastened to the canoe.
