float trips

Lazy river outings

Float trips are recreational outings on rivers or streams, typically in canoes, kayaks, inner tubes, or rafts, where participants drift with the current rather than paddling strenuously.

Popular in the American Midwest and South, float trips often combine leisurely travel with swimming, fishing, or drinking: We're doing a float trip down the Current River this weekend.

The emphasis is on relaxation rather than whitewater challenge.
