There’s a lot of river history in Galena.
Long before today’s float trips, this stretch of the James River was already part of how families and visitors experienced the Ozarks. From the old Galena Boat Co. days to the Y-Bridge era, river days here have been a tradition for generations.
A lot has changed, but the reason people come here really hasn’t: slow down, get outside, spend time with your people, float a beautiful stretch of river, and head home talking about it the rest of the week.
At James River Outfitters, we’re proud to be part of that ongoing tradition here in Galena. If you’ve been meaning to plan a float, a family day, or a weekend by the river, we’d love to have you out.
