The Best Float Trips by the Season

Have you ever wondered what would be the best float trip to see the leaves turn or when you could actually float a particular stretch of river? Well, I asked around and you’re in luck! Here are my families favorite floats by the season and river. As a bonus, I also added my dad’s favorite fishing stretches too!

Spring

Sinking Creek: Happy Holler (the low water crossing on 252) to the fork of current river.

Current River: Tan Vat put in to Akers Ferry or Cedar Grove to Akers

Jack’s Fork River: Prongs to 17 take out or 17 to Alley Springs

During the spring, with the extra rain, the creeks and rivers are usually a little fuller and you can take float trips that won’t be as easily floated in the summer.

This is the best float trip to take when the leaves are on. The color going down the river just adds to the vibrance.
