Floatery

Dangit... just when you thought your river was rowdy. 😂
Kidding aside — this is absolutely NOT the vibe at Floatery and we do not tolerate this nonsense. Ever. 🚫
We are glad the woman is okay and we hope she has a full recovery. Prayers up. 🙏
The Dan River is a place for good times, good people, and good energy. We work hard to keep it that way and we will never apologize for enforcing that standard. This is why its enforced at Floatery! 🌊❤️

You cannot fake laughs like that! 😂💦 First time on our 65ft slide and the joy on this face says it all. There is just something about that first drop that turns everyone into a kid again.

Adults being kids again — that is what we are all about. 🌊

Come experience it for yourself — we promise the laughs are contagious! 😎

Y'all. Y'ALL. 😱🙌
I am not going to lie — watching that 40ft High Cube shipping containers get maneuvered down that hill had my whole nervous system activated. But he was ABSOLUTELY on it and I should not have doubted for a second!
So what exactly is happening here?! Let me tell you 👇

✨ Introducing THE PERCH ✨
Two 40ft High Cube containers side by side with a full deck on top overlooking the Dan River serving many purposes.
🎸 Live music venue — Bands on top for "Bands on the Dan"
☕ Elevated dining for the Float Thru Café
📺 Floating Flicks — large pull down screen for outdoor movies on the river
🛟 Tube storage — keeping our float gear locked and ready
🔥 Huge Floatery logo on the front because we do nothing small around here (If you know someone to paint the Logo, lets us know). You kept asking for Bands on the Dan and Floating Flicks to return, your wish is our command.

✨ AND ✨
I just happen to have a metal spiral staircase sitting at my house that was MADE for this moment! 😂🔀
Floatery is leveling UP and Madison NC is never going to be the same! Stay tuned because this is just the beginning! 🌊🙌

🐾 Dog Days of Summer — August 15th, 2026
Floatery is proud to announce a very special float day on the Dan River. Every dollar, after operating costs, goes directly to the Rockingham County Animal Shelter.
Our rescue pup Karma Sue — she has been promoted to management — demanded this event. She found her forever home. We want to help more animals find theirs.
Every adoptable animal in Rockingham County deserves a chance. Float with us and help make that happen.
Four hours on the most peaceful stretch of the Dan River. A cause worth floating for.
📅 Saturday August 15th 2026
📍 Floatery — 4890 NC Hwy 704 Madison NC
🌐 floatery.com (book Online)
📞 336-916-7070
No dogs on property during the event for safety and insurance purposes. But Karma Sue will be there representing for all of them. We will post presenting them on social media.🐾

What a beautiful weekend on the Dan River weekend of June 6, 2026! ☀️🌊 We are so grateful for every single floater who came out to enjoy it with us and shared their photos, as well as videos!

We are currently doing the happy rain dance over here 🕺💃 — the river is running slow and we need some good soaking rain to get our flow back to the typical 4 hour float. Right now you are getting a bonus 1.5 hours of river time whether you asked for it or not! 😂 The Lazy Route is taking 5.5 hrs at the present.

And stay tuned — the Spicy Route is coming back online very soon! 🌶️🌊 More details dropping shortly! Still fine tuning the water slide :)

The Lazy Route is here.
No rapids. No chaos. Four hours of pure peace on the Dan River.
For those who found the rapids on our old route intimidating — that is no longer a concern. Floatery now puts in directly from our own private property. Calm water from the very first moment.
Choose your entry — slide straight in on our brand new 65ft tube slide or ease in gently at your own pace. Either way the river is waiting.
Four hours of floating, not walking with tube in shallow water. Ten minute shuttle back to your car, then change into dry clothes in the changing rooms. Zero stress from start to finish.
See you on the River.

Let's be real — name changes are rough. 😅 But when your customers hunt you down anyway? That's everything to us. 🥹 We rebranded from Dan River Outfitters to Floatery — same people, same river, same vibes you love. And the new name? It means bigger things ahead… more rivers, more adventures, more variety for YOU! 🌊😍
