I float this river a lot and Darryl and Cathy are the best in the business. For a smaller canoe rental they have a lot to choose from. Tubes, kayaks, canoes or rafts you can't go wrong with any of them. They also give back to the community and the river by supporting Operation Clean Stream every year. Support this smaller canoe business and enjoy the best the Meramec has to offer.

Darryl and the staff at Old Cove were very helpful, accommodating, and friendly. Planning and leading up to our float I had lots of questions and called Darryl many times. He was always patient and courteous. He even upgraded us to a raft in case our kids got tired in the tubes and we were so thankful he did!!!

This is a GREAT place to go. It was my first float. The staff was very helpful. They helped us in and out of the water. They did everything to make our day enjoyable.

First time visiting Old Cove Canoe and Kayak. The owners’ hospitality was much appreciated!! We were underprepared without ice and coolers for our drinks and they lent us their own. A great experience and great price! Highly Recommend.

Been going here for the past three seasons and couldn’t be more pleased with every float we’ve had. Darryl and his crew are always kind, respectful and extremely helpful loading and unloading all your coolers and gear for the float. Highly recommend!
