Shuttle Services

Simply book your rental and let us take care of the transportation - all you have to do is focus on enjoying the stunning scenery!

Getting around

Shuttling vehicles, kayaks & canoes on the river is the process of arranging transportation for yourself, vehicles and equipment between your starting and ending points on a float trip. Here at Y Cabins we specialize in float trips in the Norfork area. We have drivers to help transport your vehicles and gear between put-in and take-out points. This is a convenient option, especially if you are unfamiliar with the access points or cannot do your own shuttling.

Drive yourself

Lock and Leave your Gear: This is a common method for solo paddlers or groups with on vehicle.

First, drive to the put-in with your kayak. Secure your kayak to a sturdy object (tree, pole) with a cable lock to prevent theft. 

Next, drive your vehicle to the take-out point. 

Call and arrange a pick up time. We can meet you at the take-out and give you a ride back to the put-in point. This method is the least expensive since we only supply you with one driver and our shuttle vehicle.

Get a lift

Lock and Leave your Vehicle:

First, call Y Cabins and discuss your float and we will schedule two of our personnel to pick-up your vehicle at your put-in location.

We will deliver your vehicle to your take-out point. 

We will pre-arrange payment and hide the keys where you tell us. This shuttle requires two of our drivers and our shuttle vehicle.

Helpful Tips:
Here are a few tips for getting started:

Plan Your Route: Research put-in and take-out points with parking availability before your trip.

 

Safety First: Always prioritize safety. Let someone know your float plan, wear a life jacket, and check weather conditions before heading out.

 

Leave No Trace: Secure your kayak properly to avoid it becoming adrift and littering the riverbank.>
