For more information, check out the Rolla Parks and Recreation web page. Floating is varied. The Gasconade, a wide river which is easy to maneuver, is a slower float where one can just kick back and let the boat do the work. Perhaps the most popular rivers to float in the area are the Current and Meramec rivers. There is no set season for floating.
Some canoe rentals have business every month of the year.
Obviously the summer is when the canoe traffic is at its peak. But much can be said for fall floats, when traffic is down and the river is afire as the trees change color.
