Floating is both good exercise and great fun experienced in the outdoors. As a participant you have responsibilities, one should always show courtesy to your fellow floaters, which also includes the Huzzah Valley Staff. Be aware, as with any sport there is some inherent risk that personal awareness and common sense can reduce. Never float under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We provide a litter bag with each floating vessel and keep it until the end of the trip. Observe all posted signs and warnings. We cannot assume responsibility for personal injury, medical payments or property loss or damage. You will be asked to acknowledge this by signing a liability waiver before the outing begins. The cost of your float does include: transportation, the normal use of the vessel, paddles, seat cushions, trash bags and life jackets upon request. Please treat our canoes, rafts and equipment with the same respect as if they were your own. We expect normal wear and tear on our equipment, and for that we do not charge. In the event a canoe or raft is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, then we do expect to be reimbursed in relation to the damage. If you abandon your canoe or raft or it is lost or stolen, you will be required to pay for it. If everyone follows the rules of common courtesy, every floater will have a safe and rewarding adventure.  There is a $25.00 service charge per hour per craft taking out after 7:00 pm.  No refunds for early return from float. The Missouri State Water Patrol patrols these waters. State law prohibits glass containers on the river, and there is a substantial fine!

Huzzah Valley provides room for people in the rafts, not coolers. It is very important to keep this in mind when deciding the best choice of rafts for your party. The more coolers you have, the less room in your raft for the people in your party. Also, the more weight in your raft or canoe, the harder it is to get downstream. No kegs will be allowed in either rafts or canoes! We recommend the following for the maximum amount of coolers (36 quart) to put in your floating vessel.

• Canoe with 2 adults – 1 cooler
• 4 Man Raft with 3 adults – 1 cooler
• 6 Man Raft with 4 adults – 1 cooler
• 8 Man Raft with 6 adults – 2 coolers
• 10 Man Raft with 8 adults – 2-3 coolers

RAINCHECK POLICY: It must be raining at Huzzah Valley on the morning of the float; and if it is still raining at 12:00 (Noon), you will be issued a rain check, based on availability. NO REFUNDS!! If it stops raining before NOON, no rain checks will be issued. Rain checks are ONLY issued to those guests who are present at Huzzah Valley. If state officials or the management makes the determination that the river levels are beyond safe canoeing or rafting standards of use, a rain check will be issued in the amount of your payment. (NO REFUNDS). In most situations, the remainder of the reservation (catering, lodging, and camping) should not be affected by flood conditions and will be honored.
