Kimberley Summer Fun – Part 2 – Rafting the River
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
Another great way to spend the delightful summer in Kimberley is rafting the St. Mary’s River. We chartered two rafts for the St. Mary’s Float with the Kimberley Raft Company. A few extra folks floated alongside in dinghies, which was a nice idea until the people on the rafts found the water cannons and started the biggest water fight I’ve ever seen! The fun didn’t stop from getting onto the rafts at St. Mary’s Lake, to stopping for smokies on the edge of the river, to the end of the float, about 4 fun packed hours later.

St. Mary’s Lake is also popular for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and, of course, a starting point for rafting.
