    Trestle Park sits right on the Elk River and offers a genuinely beautiful float experience when things click. Campsites launch directly onto the river, the bridge area is a solid swim spot, and staff like Rylan have earned real loyalty from repeat visitors who say the floats are consistently stress-free and well-organized. Weekday visits during slower seasons seem to bring out the best of what this place can offer. That said, the reviews tell two pretty different stories. A notable number of visitors have flagged serious issues with how certain staff handle customer interactions, and the complaints are specific and consistent enough to be worth knowing about before you go. Arriving early on busy weekends is also smart, as wait times can stretch significantly when the weather is nice. If you go in with the right expectations, especially on a quieter day, many people genuinely love this spot. The river itself is stunning, the camping setup is convenient, and regulars keep coming back for a reason. Just be aware that the experience can vary depending on who you encounter, and it's worth reading recent reviews before booking to get a feel for current conditions.

    Shout out to Rylan! He always makes sure our float is stress free and taken care of! If you’re wondering which campground/floating service to use, I assure you, Elk River Floats is the one to choose. I am never disappointed after a day on their river !!! And don’t forget to stop at Shadow Lake (great spot for when you run out of drinks)
