Question:  Which direction do we float?

  • Answer: Downstream. You do not float upstream. It is a gravity kind of thing.

Question:  Are there places to get off the river early? Or can we have a friend meet up with us half way through the float?

  • Answer: Absolutely NOT. There is no public access for people to get off of the float early or join the float half way through. You will be trespassing if you get on or off the river during the float. If you do get off the river early, some nice gentlemen with a badge will greet you.

Question:  Are we allowed to bring alcoholic beverages?

  • Answer: Yes, if you are 21 or older. We do not provide or sell alcohol, so we do not card anyone. But if you are of age, then you are allowed to bring alcohol. Just make sure you drink responsibly on or off of the river. And make sure you have a designated driver.

Question: How long is the float?

  • Answer: Typically 3.5 to 6 hours, possibly more, depending on the river depth, wind speed, weight of coolers, etc.  It is tough to say, since every group is different.  We will have a pretty good idea as your float gets closer for how long the float will take. You will need to be back to T&A by 8 PM at the latest.

Question:  How deep is the river?

  • Answer: We typically put people on the river when the average channel depth is 4.5 feet or below.  When it gets above that, then we cancel for safety reasons.  The river is a sand-bottom river, so the depth varies considerably.  One step can be 4 inches deep, and the next step can be over your head.

Question:  How many people can connect together?

  • Answer: We like to keep it around 20 people maximum.  16 people or less is ideal. Much more than that, we will split you into 2 groups, and you can float side by side.

Question:  Do we have to float with other people that we don’t know?

  • Answer: You will most likely ride the bus with people in other groups that you don’t know, but you will only float connected to people in your group, whether that is your group of 2 or your group of 20 people. There will be other groups floating on the water, however you will not be connected to them.

Question:  Is a deposit required?  When do we pay?  What method of payment do you take?

  • Answer: A deposit is now required.  It is a small deposit, and info can be found here (CLICK HERE). It is easiest to pay the remaining balance on the day of the float.  If each person wants to pay individually, great.  If one person wants to collect the money, that is fine too.  Whatever is easiest for you.  We take cash, check, or credit card.  We do charge a 3% credit card fee if you want to use a card though.

Question:  Will we get our money back if it is cancelled?  Will it be rescheduled?

  • Answer: If T&A cancels, you can have a full refund of your deposit or can use it towards a future float. The cancelled float will not automatically get rescheduled, but you are more than welcome to set up another float with us. It is up to you to reschedule though.

Question:  Are tents provided with camping?  Are grills provided? Are there tables?

  • Answer: Nope.  The spots are primitive. Most have a firepit though. You have to bring your own tent, grills, food, coolers, grill grate, cooking utensils, etc.

Question:  Do we have to bring our own coolers for the float? Do you sell ice?

  • Answer: Yes, we provide cooler CARRIER tubes, but they do not come with a cooler.  You need to bring your own coolers. We do sell ice, if you want to buy it when you arrive.

Question:  Do we start and end the float at the same location?

  • Answer: No, this is not the world’s only natural circular lazy river. You check in at our campground parking area, we bus you upstream to the starting spot, and you float back to the campground parking area.

Question:  What if we lose our swimsuits during the float?

  • Answer: Call me right away, and I will be there to help out.

Question:  Is the staff really as awesome as we have heard?

  • Answer: I guess you need to come find out for yourself.  :-)
