Illinois River Stand Up Paddle Board & Taproom

  • The Motto 229 South Main Street Bentonville, AR, 72712 United States (map)

Join us for a fun day of stand up paddle boarding on the Illinois River and craft beer. The Illinois River starts southwest of Fayetteville, AR, and flows for 145 miles until it dumps into the Arkansas River. We will be doing a 4.5-mile beginner-friendly float on the Upper Illinois River. We will stop at shade-filled banks and swimming holes along the way.

*Children under 7 years old are not permitted on the water, and children under 12 must be with an adult at all times. **It is required that paddlers have basic swimming abilities such as passive floating and aggressive stroke swimming.
  
After an afternoon on the water, we will head to Creekside Taproom for a drink on us.
