Shuttle
Service

We now offer private vehicle shuttles. This means that you will drive your personal vehicle to the put-in spot, from there you will pass the keys to one of our experienced drivers and we will move your vehicle for you. Your vehicle will be waiting on you upon your arrival at the end of your float. We do recommend that you bring a spare set of keys with you, however, it is not problem at all if you have one set of keys. The details of where the keys will be left will be discussed at the office while you are signing in. 

If you are looking to book rafts, we only float rafts when the water levels are 6ft or higher. In the event that you book a raft online or over the phone and the water levels are not at 6ft or higher, we would have to switch you into different boats on your day float.

In the event that the website will not let you book a reservation, please give us a call at 870-439-2200, so we can assist you in making a reservation. 

Rafts are only reservable for a day float and can only be floated when the water levels are at least 6ft or higher on the Saint Joe (Grinder's Ferry) gauge. To check the water levels, go here: buffaloriveroutfitters.com/weather-water-levels
