In short, Old Cove offers hassle-free floating along a beautiful stretch of the Meramec River.

My husband and I rented a tandem kayak for a short float this morning, and had a great time. We were warmly greeted by the Old Cove Staff who gave us helpful directions (like waypoints to help us pace ourselves) to navigate the 4.5 mile stretch of the Meramec River. Early on a Sunday morning the river traffic was minimal. Our float was peaceful and serene, and we even saw a bald eagle with its juvenile - how neat!

We enjoyed our first visit to Old Cove Canoe and Kayak and look forward to returning, to try the longer float. Thank you for a nice morning!
