FLOAT WITH ELKHORN OUTFITTERS
Elkhorn River Float trips last 4-6 hours depending on river conditions. We provide you with a tube, a personal flotation device (life jacket), & hardware to connect your tubes together.
Refunds are only given for cancellations if WE need to cancel due to weather or river related.
All floaters must meet at Family Fare on 204th & Pacific Street in Elkhorn to check in & sign waivers.
Please read this waiver carefully so you are aware that if you are injured or drown, we are not liable. You are floating at your own risk and have been made aware of the additional risks we are facing since the 2019 flood & Covid-19.
Minors under the age of 19 will need to have a minor release form signed & the same guardian/parent on float trip.

CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS
Advanced purchased tickets are ONLY refundable should we need to cancel for a weather or river related reason. If you do not show up for your float trip including missing the bus, we will not issue a refund. No exceptions!
WHICH STRETCH OF THE RIVER DO WE USE
If the river is at normal depth and flow, we drop in at Elkhorn Crossing and take out at West Maple. If the river is low and slow, we will drop in at West Maple and take out at Greske. We want our guests to enjoy their float with as little work as possible. When the river is low, we use a shorter distance to allow for all floaters to relax, stop and hang out on sand bars, and not feel rushed. We do not give refunds for shorter float times.
