RED RIVER VALLEY PARK<br />
All of us here at Red River<br />
Valley Park are looking<br />
forward to an exciting new<br />
year on the river. We have<br />
expanded our operation to<br />
include 130 beautiful acres<br />
along the Red River. You can<br />
enjoy camping, canoeing,<br />
having a picnic, company<br />
parties, riding or a weekend<br />
retreat.<br />
Red River Valley Park offers<br />
a closed Pavilion for outdoor<br />
fun and 30+ shady riverfront<br />
acres for organized games.<br />
This area is great for company<br />
parties, reunions, hails and<br />
farewells, birthday parties,<br />
live music, etc.<br />
You can always come to Red<br />
River Valley Park to relax,<br />

campsite<br />
offers RV<br />
hookups and<br />
we have a bath<br />
house with<br />
hot showers<br />
and clean<br />
bathrooms.<br />
The campsite<br />
has tables,<br />
grills and fire<br />
pits. We also<br />
have a camp<br />
store that sells<br />
drinks, snacks<br />
and ice. Also<br />
enjoy a fun<br />
game of sand<br />

Our famous<br />
canoe floats<br />
are called the<br />
uppers<br />
and the<br />
lowers.<br />
The upper<br />
float is 12<br />
miles long<br />
and takes<br />
about 4-5 hours, but really<br />
it has no time limit. Many<br />
people bring a picnic basket<br />
and stop midway at one of<br />
the sandy beaches along the<br />
river. It’s also a great spot<br />
to stop and get in to get wet!<br />
The lowers is 7.5 miles long<br />
and takes 3-4 hours to float;<br />
however, this float does have a<br />
time to be picked up. Canoes<br />
are $20 per person or $40 a<br />
canoe with tax. There are two<br />
seats in each canoe, but you<br />
can put up to four persons<br />
or 700lb in a canoe (third<br />
and fourth persons cost a bit<br />
more).<br />
Red River Valley Park hosts<br />
several annual events that get<br />
bigger and bigger each year!<br />
Come out and enjoy the fun<br />
