   Don't miss this. Our driver/guide was fun and a great driver. I'm glad we got to the other side of the river to get a closer look at locks, but the entire experience was great. See more..

4. 3.5 Vermillion River Rafting (16 reviews)
   - Pleasant afternoon in Illinois "whitewater"
   Thursday: 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM River Rafting & Tubing
   
   
   I've done rafting all around the country--I can't in good faith call this "whitewater" rafting or state that this is a Class III river. There are a few really nice (and short) drops along the way that gave some excitement to the trip, but this is the exact sort of whitewater you would expect in Illinois. Pretty flat. With this said, we had a nice time on the Vermillion. There are several nice pull outs upon which many people were taking a quick dip and there is a lot of wildlife along the way. The owners of Vermillion River Rafting are a retired couple who are very affable and welcoming. We went on a busy day, and they were still happy to talk about the river and their business on it for the last 17 years. You will drop off your group and then park your car at the end of the river run on the Oglesby bridge over the Vermillion. They will then drive you back to the rafting base and after short directions, send you off on the river. Great day and nice people! See more..
