Shuttle
Service

We now offer private vehicle shuttles only. On the day of your float, our staff will direct you to the put-in location, where you’ll drive your personal vehicle. While you’re on the river, our experienced staff will then relocate your vehicle to your take-out spot so it’s waiting for you when your float ends.

We recommend bringing a spare set of keys, but if you don’t have one, that’s no problem. We’ll work with you on the day of your float to find a safe and convenient place to secure the keys you bring.

Rafts: Please note that we only float rafts when water levels are 6 ft or higher. If you reserve a raft online or by phone and the water is below that level on the day of your trip, we’ll switch your reservation to a different type of boat.

Rafts are only reservable for a day float. To check the water levels, go here: buffaloriveroutfitters.com/weather-water-levels
