Were able to book a float trip for two the day before. The drive there was really spectacular, as is the campground. There were clean porta-potties (a welcome sight after our hour or so drive). Then we and our gear were transported upriver with two sit-on-top kayaks, paddles, PFDs and a mesh trash bag for each of us. The breathtaking beauty of the Meramec River never ceases to amaze, and we had an incredible 9-mile float back to Arapahoe Campground. The cost for the two of us was just under $100. I recommend it to anyone who is into nature and kayaking.
