Mack's Inn River Floats. This is a great place to rent a raft, canoe or inner tubes and float down the river. Sometimes you can see the salmon swimming by. It’s a great place to enjoy the serenity of nature (if no one is screaming in delight) You are likely to see large animals come to drink and even Osprey and other birds of prey in the trees.
