Looking at floating the last section of the Buffalo this weekend. Discharge rates have been around 14,000. What i'm looking for is where to take out at. So what yall think?

Shipps Ferry - 5.6 miles downstream

Shipps will work, but if you don't want to go down that far the gentleman at Riley's Station will probably come out and tow you to his dock for a nominal fee. Are you launching at Rush?

Miles normally charges 10.00 which includes parking at Riley Station. Great folks. Wild Bills will also shuttle your vehicle if you need it. It saves about 4 hrs of driving if you are putting in at Rush. They charged us 50.00 this past fall. Well worth the time saved.

Deuce thanks for the info and we will be putting in at Rush. Stymie thanks for the contact number. Marmoss thanks for your info. Was planning on using Wild Bill for shuttle. They have always been good to us in the past and prices can't be beat. We are not sure now if we will be doing the float this weekend. Damn hot don't ya think.

Yes, it's a safe bet it will be hot. If only there were a convenient way to cool off. Hmmmmm.
