Our customers asked and we listened

In addition to our deluxe adult and childs tubes, we are now offering adult tubes with a closed bottom.

All of our tubes are commercial tubes manufactured by Tube Pro. These are the best commercial tubes on the market!! They all come with headrests as well.

As we get int the hot months of the summer, take a float on the Kickapoo in style.

52 years!!

Driftys would like to give a shout out to this LEGENDARY group that just finished their 52nd consecutive year(33 with me at Driftys) of Kickapoo River fun.

What started out as a group of college friends at UWL that decided to float the Kickapoo in 1975 has turned into an annual event here on the Kickapoo.

These guys started out as customers and have become friends over the years. In the earlier years, they kept this canoe boy out late at night having fun. From sleeping in my busses in the early years, spending the day sitting in canoes at the Driftys shelter when the river was too high, staying on the river until midnight and reaching out to me personally when they seen a need are some of the many memories i will always keep with me.

Thanks guys, Driftys truly appreciates you!!

See ya next year for #53

The weather is looking great for the weekend!!

Secret tip of the day...

Late May and early June is one of the best times to float the river. The mid-summer crowds have not arrived yet, little to no bugs and a better chance of seeing wildlife in person.

Visit our website and book online for your reservation or call us at 608-337-4288

In honor of all veterans past and current, Driftys would like to say Thank You for your service. My son Lane, currently in the Army Reserves, and all of us at Driftys, would like to offer a free rental to the first veteran who rents a canoe, kayak or tube tomorrow on Memorial Day.

Remember, as always, ask about our military discount!

Thank you to all of our current, past and fallen heros!!
