Welcome to The Landing
The Landing is located on the banks of Current River in the foothills of the Missouri Ozarks in Van Buren, MO and is Current River’s number one resort destination. The Current and Jacks Fork Rivers make up the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, one of the premier National Parks in the United States, and are beautiful crystal clear rivers offering outstanding scenic landscapes the entire year.
FLOATING
Since The Landing originated the Current River Tube Trip over 30 years ago, it has become an extremely popular form of summertime entertainment. More and more people each year have discovered this relaxing pastime. It is a unique and inexpensive form of entertainment for the whole family, and we guarantee you a fun-filled summer day or weekend!
We are an authorized National Park Concession and, in conjunction with The Landing River Store, offer a wide array of float trips consisting of canoes, rafts, kayaks and tubes. Park your car at The Landing and leave the rest up to us. We transport you upriver to your point of entry. This allows you to enjoy your float with no set take-out time or deadline to meet, and there is no tiring wait for transportation at the end of your float.
Tube
Standard, Lazy w/Backrest, Tracker, and Cooler Carrier models available.
Raft
6 man rafts are great for families and groups of 6 or less that want to float together.
Kayak
Large selection of colorful one man, self-bailing, inflatable kayaks.
Canoe (2 People)
Canoes comfortably seat two adults. Two small children or a third adult allowed if needed.
Overnight Trips
Overnight camping float trips by canoe or raft ranging from one night out to five nights.
The Rosecliff Lodge
The Landing is the only establishment in the Current River area to offer riverfront accommodations. Each room has a spacious balcony with inviting Adirondack chairs where you can sit and enjoy the view. We are open year round, offering a “four season experience” of Current River. Whether it’s an all day tubing trip in the heat of the summer to keep cool, a scenic raft or canoe trip in the middle of the fall, a peaceful snowfall in the winter, or a bass fishing or bird watching trip in the spring, The Landing makes for a great vacation destination anytime of the year.

The Blue Heron
Located on the west side of The Landing on the main level, The Blue Heron offers exceptional food, personable service, and a great view of Current River. We also offer outdoor dining on the riverview decks, two full service bars, and live weekend entertainment.
The Blue Heron may be best known for its four cuts of juicy, charbroiled steaks, such as Chef Bobby King’s own 8 oz. Crab-Stuffed Filet, however, our full service menu also offers a variety of specialty entrees including Crusted Orange Roughy, Hill Country Catfish, Stuffed Pasta Shells, and a number of great appetizers including our version of the fried onion blossom, the Current River Rootwad.
River Centre
Not Just for Floating Any More!
The Landing, in Van Buren, has always been a great summer destination for floating the Current River. Since 1981, The Landing has been outfitting people with inner tubes, canoes, rafts, and kayaks for summer float trips down one of America’s prettiest rivers, but the latest addition to the resort, The River Centre at The Landing, is attracting visitors to Current River for other reasons.
