Floating reservations are highly recommended for
everyone on weekends and for groups during the week. Float trips paid in advance will guarantee your floating equipment until 11:00 am on float date.

Money received for reserved floating equipment will be refunded,if partial or all reservations are cancelled 10 days prior to float date. Refunds or rescheduling is available if the river is at flood stage.

You, the renter, are responsible for your party members and all rented equipment. Use good judgement on the water. Don't over-estimate your abilities on the river. Please do not hesitate to ask our staff for canoeing tips and conditions and be prepared for rain or shine. A release must besigned for all rented equipment.

Ice, drinks, snacks, lotion, rain gear, sunglasses, etc. are available at the office store.

Camping, guaranteed with a floating reservation, on a first come first serve basis. We have many shady spots equipped with water and electric hookups. We also have large beach areas with shallow swimming for children. All visitors must register at the office or with the gate attendant. If you are a late night arrival, please set up quietly and pay in the morning. Quiet hours are from 10:30 pm to 8:00 am. Please limit noise at your campsite.

We want everyone to have a great time so please respect your camping neighbor and the beautiful surroundings. Please keep the park clean. No littering. Speed limit 5-10 mph. Stay clear of loose beach gravel & the river.

Dogs: Due to liability issues we no longer allow dogs at Elk River Floats or Wayside Campground.

No firearms or fireworks. Keep music within your camp. Respect the trees, don't chop, nail or saw. Hang lanterns so they don't burn trunks and branches – they're giving you shade.

No glass in campground or on river.
