Oklahoma Rivers & Outfitters List

The Glover River
Experts Only Spring Whitewater

River Floats, Canoe Rentals & Guided Fishing Trips

Outfitter: Charlie Umstead 405-244-3284
Location: US 259 on the east, SH 3 on the south, SH 144 on the north

The Glover River is Oklahoma's only untamed waterway (meaning no dams block its course).

Secluded and un-commercialized, the Glover River is ideal for veteran floaters with a knowledge of the local topography and experience with unpredictable waters. 

When the river is low, rocks, logs, and low falls make for a difficult float.  When the river is up, the journey is definitely not for first-timers.

Row, Kayak or Dragon Boat on the Oklahoma River in OKC

The City of OKC recently renamed part of the North Canadian River as "The Oklahoma River".  This short section of river is the new hot spot for Olympic Flatwater Paddling trials and several major wakeboarding tournaments. 

The crown jewel of the new Oklahoma River is the breathtakingly lovely Chesapeake Boathouse.  The design of the Chesapeake Boathouse represents a sleek rowing shell with translucent polycarbonate walls providing a dramatic nighttime image of the building “floating” above the river.

Chesapeake Boathouse members have access to their fleet of kayaks during open rowing times, and even if you're not a member, you can rent a kayak through a program sponsored by Oklahoma City University.

Kayak rentals are available March through October during daylight hours, Monday– Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. The last rental of the day is one hour before boathouse closing; check the Chesapeake Boathouse calendar for current hours.

Kayak rental cost is $10 per hour for a single, $15 for a double. No reservation required. They also offer a full complement of kayaking lessons and trips. Follow the links above to learn more, or email the Chesapeake Boathouse at info@chesapeakeboathouse.org for personal assistance and visit their website for more details about their programs for paddlers.
