The Cowpasture River is our Favorite kayaking spot in town. Although it's later in the season, it's still a possibility to catch a good day on the water.

Floating the Cowpasture is more of “lazy river” type of float as it doesn’t have the same level of rapids that the Jackson has. Always be sure to check the river gauge for water levels, especially in the late summer months.
