Oklahoma Rivers & Outfitters List

We try out as many of these outfitters as possible to make sure they are still in business and still 'takin' care of business'.  It's a wet job, but we don't mind. We use this list to help plan float trips in Oklahoma and other road trips in the Oklahoma area. If you are an Oklahoma area canoe livery operator feel free to email us your contact info, if we don't already have you listed on this page.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page for some new information on Texas paddling as well.

Outfitters for Flatwater and Whitewater Paddling in and around the Oklahoma Area.

Oklahoma Float Trip Tip: Remember to call ahead and reserve your canoes and kayaks at least one day in advance. Summer afternoon float trips on the Mt. Fork, for example, often book up.    

 

 

Oklahoma Paddle Sport Outfitter Info By River

Glover   Illinois (Best Bet)   Mountain Fork (Best Bet)   Kiamichi    Washita   

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.
