Here at Riverbend By The Bridge, our goal is to provide all floaters with an unforgettable trip down the Illinois River in Tahlequah. To achieve this goal, we ensure that all our rafts, kayaks and equipment are new, sanitary and well-maintained.
We take pride in our location which features the most scenic section of the Illinois River. On top of that, we’re easier to find than any other outfitter because we’re right on the corner of Highway 62 & Rte 10.
We offer various rental options, whether you are visiting with your entire family, significant other or your friends. Riverbend rafting is ideal for groups of four to six people, while kayaking is highly recommended for individuals or couples. Try our tubing excursion if you want to float the river in chill mode, taking in the beauty of nature with the company of friends and family. Don’t forget to rent a cooler tube that you can tow so you’ll have your favorite refreshments within easy reach.

When all seemed lost they saved us…..Greatest float company ever! We showed up not knowing you absolutely must make a reservation with all float companies because they sell out. Well these folks here helped us out and had two extra rafts for us! The 10 mile wrecked us but it was a great day with loved ones and friends. Will go back!

We live right up the road and float the river 3-4 times a year. Usually float with All American but decided to try Riverbend out. Glad we did! Fast service and transport to the river. Equipment is good and the they have a nice building to hang out in. Also no waiting in long lines.
