We heard you loud and clear — Floatilla is back and yes, it’s on a weekend!!!
Picture it: it’s the end of your 4th of July weekend. You and your crew are floating down the river, bevvy in hand, sun on your face, and Starr Hill Brewery waiting at the finish line.
Perfection? Perfection.

Your Floatilla To-Do List:
🅿️ Parking Plan 🅿️
Parking is ***very limited***. Best case scenario: Team up in two cars, drop one car at the gravel lot take-out next to Honey Tree and near Starr Hill Brewery, and carpool back to the put-in near Roanoke Mountain Adventures for an easy exit strategy.
Parking at the put-in:
- Riverhouse gravel parking lot (off of 8th St. SW)
- Smith Park (a bit of a hike)
- Carpool encouraged (no, seriously)
Only have one vehicle? Park it at the take-out and Uber, bike, or scoot to the put-in.

🛟 Floats 🛟
Bring whatever floats your vibe — inflatable couches, unicorns, ducks, SUPs, kayaks, tubes — go wild.
Need gear? Call Roanoke Mountain Adventures (540-525-8295) or follow the link to rent a tube, kayak, or paddleboard. Supplies are limited:

💨 BYOPump💨
BRING YOUR OWN PUMP or risk watching everyone else float away while you sweat it out on shore. Roanoke Mountain Adventures has a few, but the line gets long fast, and the last one on the river is a rotten egg!
⚠️Float at Your Own Risk⚠️
The Floatilla is a low-key group hangout in a public space. There are no waivers and no lifeguards. All participants should know how to swim and manage themselves on a body of moving water. Footwear is encouraged, but flip-flops are not recommended. Don't be that barefoot person.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TLDR
When: Sunday, July 6 at 1 PM
Where: The start location is Roanoke Mountain Adventures. The end location is Starr Hill Brewery.
How: You're in charge of shuttling yourself to and from RMA and Starr Hill (CARPOOL).
What to bring: A float, a pump, your friends, a cooler, a speaker, and get ready to FLOAT.
See you out there!
