Grab a boat, round up your crew, and join the river for the Great Float — an annual paddle down the Great Miami River, capped off with live music, food, and a little friendly competition on shore. The Route A 3.5-mile paddle south, taking roughly two hours from start to finish. Gather time is 1:00 PM from Adventures on the Great Miami. Whether you're in your own kayak or one of ours, the river does most of the work — just watch out for pirates, and remember: it's shark week too. Bring Your Own, or Rent One* Personal boat: $15/boat
