What travelers are saying
- gtxlowAustin, TX16 contributionsThis park surprised me in every way in the positive. It was so clean with amazing architecture, amazing amenities for adults and kids, and every facility you would want in a park. The thing to do in Tulsa no question and puts most other parks to shame, anywhere in the world.Written September 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lu SFort Worth, TX21 contributionsThe people here are so friendly and helpful. They got us in quickly and picked is up quickly as well. The driver gave us some good advice on fun stuff to do in town a well. This was our 2nd year floating with them and we well definitely be back.Written July 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David and Sarah NDallas, TX1 contributionOur group, typically 20ish guys, has rented from Wild Goose for 10+ years. Darla and her crew are always accommodating, courteous, and friendly. Highly recommend them. It's a nice perk that the take out point for the 8 mile float is right at their location. You beach your kayak/canoe and walk right to your car. We plan to continue to using their services and rentals for the foreseeable future. Definitely reach out to Darla, if you're ever looking to rent.Written September 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sharee1 contributionGreat experience. The river is peaceful and beautiful. Great family activity. The life jackets are moldy and stinky. Adults do not have to wear the life jacket, but must have them in the boat therefore it was not much of an issue. Thankfully we brought our own life jacket for our 7 year old child, since children must wear life jacket. The beginning of the float is mildly fast, however the rest of the river is very calm and slow moving.The company is very busy especially on the weekends and does a good job moving quickly. Much less busy during the week.Written August 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anca HMadill, OK11 contributionsMy kids loved the jet skis. I think this was their most favorite part of our vacation. The staff is amazing, very courteous with every customer. We will definitely be back. Such fun!!!Written August 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- pednurseWewoka, OK1,143 contributionsOur party of 6, 3 couples, were received kindly on a Wednesday morning around 9am as walk ins. We were greeted by a friendly, talkative gal and the proprietor Ken who were very helpful with info on our dilemma of kayaks vs canoes. We all had floated in canoes on, as we discovered later, the much calmer Illinois River and were hesitant to rent the $50 double kayaks as BBWW no longer offered canoes for rent. After calling around, we discovered none of the local rental companies provided canoes any longer as the river caused too much damage to them. This only added to our apprehension of floating and first time on kayaks. But Ken spent a lot of time showing us the kayaks and their features, explaining the aspects of the river float, it's rapids and offered a $5 discount per rental. Since we had come specifically to check out the Lower Mountain Fork River, we decided to go for it.
The facility offers clean restrooms and showers and their equipment was in good repair. We were loaded into a van with the kayak trailer in tow and driven up river for about 15 minutes to the spillway of Broken Bow Lake that was dumping water into the river. Loading into the kayaks was easily accomplished in a quiet still area after we had bungeed our small ice chests on the back and used the provided life vests for seat cushions.
After that the fun began! I have to admit, this river trip is not for the faint of heart and could possibly even be dangerous with small children. The river was very swift making it, at times, difficult to maneuver around the large boulders and of course the highlight 3 foot waterfall! We dumped several times the first half of the trip, but afterwards was calm and smooth. Just a warning, everything WILL get wet and most likely dumped out and floated down river...so come prepared and definitely wear water shoes!
All in all, this company provided all we needed for the trip and the discount was appreciated. The river trip was a great experience!Written July 20, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We visited on a busy Saturday in June and had a bit of a wait to get checked in - which is to be expected. They offer a military discount!! Whoop! Love that! Lots of parking and an easy walk to pick up tubes and head to the river. The float was very relaxing - about 1-1/2 hours. At the end, get out was easy and it wasn’t a very long wait to be picked up and shuttled back to our car. Very nice folks!Written July 24, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kylie W1 contributionVery friendly and informative staff. We were put on the water quickly and given helpful information about the river and how to navigate down stream! The stopping point is close to where we parked so we were able to get to our car with no wait time. Overall great experience! Highly recommend this company!Written July 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Matthew M3 contributionsI've been coming here for years with scouts and, after a few years, came back this past weekend with a group of friends, and we had a blast. The staff is great, and their location is convenient for when you finish kayaking to be able to walk straight to your car. I would highly recommend them to anyone!Written August 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- nettaloves3Troy, MO139 contributionsWe met up with some of my husbands work friend and their families for a float trip o. The Illinois river. The got a kayak and four rafts. I brought my own life jacket and am glad I did the jacks they had for use were really dirty looking. The what can one say about kayaks and rafts they did the job. Most of the staff was not overly friendly, except for the driver at the end of our drive he seamed to have a good sense of humor.
We had a great time and would go again . However, activities like this are only as fun as the people you are with (I would say I was the biggest dud, I don’t like water I can’t see my feet in).Written July 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The location has the most beautiful sunsets imaginable!

- bjoyful2houston43 contributionsThis was our second time floating the Illinois River. Took our dog Willow for the first time. The campground was great! Easy access to the river too! Bathrooms are nice and air conditioned. Store has a lot to offer and the help is really nice. We’ll be back!Written August 18, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CC BDallas, TX532 contributionsWe kayaked the 4 mile section of the Mt. Fork river and had a great time. The kayaks the sit-on-top type and were surprisingly comfortable on your back. All of them had GoPro mounts stuck to the front of them already, which was nice. The kayaks tracked pretty well and were easy to maneuver. There was an area on the back of the kayak that you could attach a dry bag or cooler to, but make sure you bring your own bungee cord for it. We brought our own life jackets and were glad we did because the ones they had were the basic orange ones that go around your neck. Also, it is $10 to rent a life jacket.
This was our first time ever attempting to kayak a river and there were more rapids than we expected but it was exciting. There were a couple of sketchy rapid areas that we saw people getting out and walking past but we attempted it anyway. The waterfall was fun! The river was scenic and we enjoyed kayaking past the rocks and the cypress trees.
You park at the office and they take you in a van and drop you off at the river. Then you kayak down the river and end at the office/your vehicle. So you weren't sitting there at the end waiting for someone to come pick you up, you just get out and are on your way.
FYI: They only have a port-a-potty here, so if that freaks you out, use the bathroom before you get there. It was fairly clean, though.Written July 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was a short ride to the location for the drop off, and they were waiting when we arrived at the pull out. Definitely need good river shoes. The cheap, soft bottom shoes aren't the best for this portion of the river. Loved every minute.Written July 6, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jeanie F1 contributionFirst let me say that we had a good time and that the staff at Falcon Crest were wonderful! The pool is nice and a life saver! My biggest complaint is the lack of shade. Plant some trees people!!! The float was great and even though the bus we were on broke down leaving the campground we were quickly provided with another bus and the great staff (did I say that already) moved our ice chest for us. Our dog was welcomed and the other campers were happy, friendly and sober! Music at the pool was awesome! Great choices folks!
Now for the down side! The bathrooms were NASTY. We didn't even shower while there because of that. There was no soap or paper towels in the womans after Friday. Unless you rent an RV site they are PRIMITIVE! No electricity or water. Everyone hated the roosters across the highway that woke us all up at 4 AM every morning (Lots of complaining). Dusty dirt or mud with gravel tends to be your walk way around the place. The only shade is at the pool. The river trip was great but, they told us to go around the bend past All American Floats (who has lots of shade) and so we did. Big, sharp, slippery rocks and I thought I was going to break a hip. Next time I won't go around the bend. We will stay here again? Probably not (if we do we would get an RV spot even with a tent) but they were the only vacancies and it worked. In their defense we did go the hotest weekend of the year (maybe ever!) Nice folks who try hard! Thanks guys, we had a seriously hot but good time!Written June 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
