We are coming together for an evening float trip on the full moon of Monday, May 12, 2025. It will be a 3 mile float starting at 9:30 pm and will last around 3 hours. We will start on the beach at Mother Nature’s Riverfront Retreat and then float to the other side of the property. The float trip is on the Big Niangua River. You are welcome to bring your own boats to join the float for the $15 per person admission fee which includes optional camping. You can also reserve and rent kayaks or canoes from the Mother Nature's. We suggest bringing glow sticks to decorate your boat for the nighttime float. There will be a bonfire prior to the float starting on the main beach starting at 6 pm. There will also be a bonfire at the end of the float trip on the other side of the property where your cars will be parked. Everyone is welcome to come early and camp overnight or you can just pop in for the float trip. Tent camping space is first come first serve so there is no need to reserve ahead of time. Full RV sites and Electric sites are available and can be reserved ahead of time on the ticket link or by calling the office at 573-363-5408.
The full moon in May is called the FLOWER MOON because of the many flowers that bloom during this time of year. The name comes from Native American tribes who used the moon to mark the seasons and important events. The Algonquin tribes named the May full moon the Flower Moon because of the many flowers in the northeastern United States. Some northern Native American tribes called it the Budding Moon or Leaf Budding Moon. Some tribes also called it the Planting Moon because it marked the time to plant seeds for the growing season.
