FLOATING

Come Enjoy the Majesty That is North Fork River

What better way to explore the beautiful North Fork River than by canoe , raft or kayak? Whether you’re looking to reel in a big catch or just enjoy a day in the warm sun, staff at Dawt Mill will do their best to provide a fun and memorable experience for you. We provide transportation and convenience, taking you and your group up stream so you can float back down to your vehicle or lodging here at Dawt.

Starting point is just a short 10-15 minute bus ride from Dawt, approximately 8 Miles upstream, to Blair Bridge. This trip features both a Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon trout stretch for the avid angler, lasting from 4-6 hours depending on how much you stop along the way. The North Fork River alternates between swift currents and quiet waters, perfect for anglers and those seeking a little excitement. The beautiful Ozark landscape frames the gorgeous emerald waterway, allowing floaters the chance to capture a glimpse of the local wildlife and scenery.
