Q: Ok, I have my own raft but do I need to blow it up before I get to Barber Park?

A: Nope! Barber Park has air stations that will be on for you to use from 10 AM - 7:30 PM during float season.

Q: Does it cost anything to float the river?

A: No, floating the river itself is free but you will have to pay $5 parking at Barber Park.

Q: How do I get back to my car after we take-out at Ann Morrison Park?

A: There's a couple ways.  Take two cars.  Park one at Ann Morrison before you head toward Barber Park.  That way you have a car to drive back to pick the other up.
