Floating is fun - but not at eagle bluff resort. DO NOT GO THERE! If you have any problems with a camping spot, cabin stay, or a river craft, the staff can do nothing about it except tell the owners, who are less than helpful. The woman owner was rude to my family when we requested a different camping spot because our neighbors were being disruptive (this was in the FAMILY camping ground - we were assured upon arrival that all partying would be done in what they call the wilderness area.) The office girls were nice enough, but could not help us as they are apparently unable to do so, as the owners are in control of everything. I wil not float OR stay there again, and will be looking to other resorts for my future needs.

I hadn't floated in an inner tube in years - thanks for bringing up good memories for me.
