Fall is here!!

Due to the recent high amounts of rain fall we are only able to float one section of the Huzzah...however that will not be the case for long. We will post as soon as all sections are float able again so you can enjoy the wildlife venturing out to the waterside for a cool refreshing drink.

It is that time of year where the temperature is dropping and the leaves are changing colors, making it the perfect time to visit Huzzah Valley Resort. Horseback riding is still available until the end of October ( so take advantage now). With the leaves changing colors and the cool air it makes for a very relaxing and enjoyable ride for all ages.

Last week was Customer Appreciation weekend. It was a blast for everyone involved. There was a bonfire and hayride for everyone to enjoy. The staff even participated in a company hayride with their families.

There was a beautiful moon out the night of the hayride, which lit up huzzah wonderfully. Halloween is just around the corner and the staff here at Huzzah valley is decorating the store for fall.

It is only a matter of time before the snow starts to fall so don't miss out on your last chance to enjoy the great outdoors before it is too cold. Its the time to nestle up by the fire and roast marshmallows before crawling into a pile of blankets in hopes to keep warm through the night. For the next ten days it is going to be highs in the 60's with lows in the 40's. Head out to huzzah for an unplanned stay, but don't forget your extra blankets!!

Until next time...

Now that summer is coming to an end

Just because summer is coming to an end, it does not mean that it is time to put away the tent for the year. This is the perfect time to enjoy the cool breeze of the valley while roasting marshmallows. Horseback riding is spectacular in the fall. The leaves will be changing colors soon, making the ride around the Ozark mountains that more enjoyable.

It is always fun to enjoy a tube ride down the river, if you are not looking for a long float...we do offer campground use (so you can float any time) Or how about try a Hayride (15per min.)
Hayrides are another way to enjoy the cool nights around the valley. The last few weeks have been full of hayrides and horseback riders.
Boyscout troops around the St Louis area have made Huzzah Valley their second home. Now that everyone is in the swing of things, and the newbies are stepping up, it is the perfect time to get out there and learn the ways of the wild.
This weekend alone Huzzah Valley hosted 2 different boyscout groups, including one of the largest groups in Missouri.
It always seems to be a blast when friends are hanging out together and enjoying time on the water as well as around the campfire.
No matter your age, it is always fun to sit by the fire and talk about old times, new times, anytime.
Even though the temperature is dropping it is still a wonderful time to spend on the water. The cooler the weather, the more wildlife will begin to show up along the banks of the Huzzah River. The wildlife, along with the leaves changing colors will leave you speech less as you float and enjoy the spectacular view.
There is no time like the present, life is all about making memories. So enjoy a trip to the great outdoors here at Huzzah Valley Resort
Until Next time......

Summer isn't over just yet!!!

Even though everyone is going back to school does not mean the summer is over. We still have plenty of sun before fall arrives. This is the perfect time to enjoy the crystal clear huzzah!! Tubing is one way to enjoy the entire family.

This past weekend we had a record number of tubers floating the 2 and 3 mile runs. It is truly a wonderful way to spend some time with the family...and the biggest bonus... it is only 10 dollars.

This year has been a summer to remember. Even though the economy has been rather low lately, many families have found their way here to enjoy their vacation time. Who needs Florida when you have Huzzah!!

Now that summer is starting to wrap up, it is time for all of us here at Huzzah Valley Resort to start thinking about fall and wonderful ways to help you enjoy the Fall season as well. We have several ways to enjoy fall this year. We offer the fall finale, the rodeo extravaganza, and new this year... CUSTOMER APPRECIATION WEEKEND.

Until next time...

In the swing of things..

The summer is starting to come to an end and it is that time of year to get in the last final summer float before the kids have to catch the school bus for one more year. If you haven't had a chance to make it down yet this year...it is the perfect time!!!
This summer has been full of adventures, wonderful groups and families.
This year many have made Huzzah their place for

wacky weekend getaways

family reunions

company floats

(Here in the next two weeks, the staff is going to be experiencing their own taste of the river life with our own company float....check back for pictures at a later date)

adventure seeking

church picnics and even just a relaxing vacation from home with a bunch of friends

Our river is in great condition, thanks to all of the rain we have had the last few months. 90 degree weather has filled the air for a while now, making the river the most enticing aspect of huzzah valley.

Even the staff here at Huzzah Valley Resort have managed to find time to relax during the rush of the summer. During the week there was an all resort volleyball tournament...which was outstanding team building.

It is never too early to even start thinking about reservations for next year. Call today to ensure your perfect vacation spot...

until next time

Constantly on the move

It is that time of year again, and we are in full swing. We are constantly making reservations for the summer, and are thrilled about that. The water is in perfect condition right now for floating. No matter if you are wanting to float alone in a tube or kayak

...or with a group of friends or family in a raft! We have you covered. The weather has been outstanding. Today there is a high of 92 degrees here in steelville. Always remember your sunscreen...you don't wanna burn...

This weekend is the official annual blitzstock 09. If you haven't made your reservations feel free to give us a call and we can take care of that for you. Malcome acoustic, ME 3 and Malcome Blitz will be playing Saturday June 6th at the Event Barn. Call us for more details.


Last weekend was a huge success here in the valley. Huzzah Valley is a great place for your church or family to have their get together. Here is the Warrenton Wesleyan Church celebrating their annual camp out.


The summer is just beginning and here are Huzzah...we can't wait! It always seems like the summers always fly by way to fast. Remember to get out every once in a while with the family and spend some quality time together. Not a fan of a crowd...try bringing your family out on a week day to enjoy the river at its finest.


Until next time....

Spring flood 09 update

Just a little update…

The water here at huzzah valley has finally gone back into the banks…we are very lucky nothing was damaged due to the flood waters…the wonderful guys outside were able to get everything to safety in time and it did not make it up to the cabins or into the store. ( more pictures can be found on Facebook)


The river is still not floatable at this time, but it is dropping just as fast as it came up. If you are in the mood for a float, give us a call before you make the trip down to Huzzah valley. At this point in time floating is not an option for the day…tomorrow we are still up in the air on if rafting will be available, for sure no canoes… This flood has made for an eventful weekend.


The men have been busy putting everything back into place, and we even have the construction crew working hard yet again today.


The campground is drying out and we have ever more campers then last night…which is awesome!. The weather is breathtaking, sunny and 67degrees.


It has been a perfect day for horseback riding…we have had several groups going out on rides. We have been getting rave reviews back on the rides.


Don’t forget about memorial day!

Until next time

Despite the rain…

An action-packed week in the valley

This week has been a week of excitement, and thrills. The unexpected happened more then once this week. Despite the rain, our construction has progressed. Painting of the stalls, installation of the toilets and showers, and even lighting has begun to go in. What an accomplishment. The rain has pushed back construction for most of the winter and spring, but the rains will no longer damper our progression. (More pictures can be found on the face book page under progression on shower house part 2)

We are still receiving orders daily of clothes and other goodies for the store…we are in full throttle mode running fast towards Memorial Day. The count down has begun and we are putting the final touches on all our big plans for the year.

Hummingbirds have ventured in the store in several occasions within the past few weeks. Not long ago we were able to capture one such hummingbird and get him to safety, (thanks to the help of three devout employees). This was not as easy as one would think. Unfortunately not long after being set free, he decided he wanted to try again. At this point in time, we have not had any luck getting him down...but we are hopeful!

Rain. Rain. And More Rain. Last night it rained a hefty storm, which did not let up until last this afternoon, Filled with tons of tornado sirens, hail storms (as big as soft balls, in a near by town) and a down pouring of rain. As soon as noon hit, the rain stopped and the sun came out. It turned into a very beautiful day….minus the big drama

(start of the flood)

At this point the water has came up over 10 feet and is still rising…but it has not stopped our campers…we have several campers who have found the only dry place in the entire campsite and sat up their tents. You got to love hard core campers. The water is about to reach the steps of the store. I have attached several pictures, however more can be found on our face book account under spring flood 09.

Even though our field looks like a lake, it has turned out to be a great day around the valley. The guys were very busy trying to get all of our picnic tables and any thing else that might float way out of the campground. And they spend a few hours traveling back and fourth from the lea house to the raft barn transporting our canoes, and rafts to safety. (the staff of huzzah is wonderful)

We even had a professional kayaker venture on a quick 2 mile run in less then 15 minutes. (Huzzah fans are die hard). Don’t forget to become a fan on our facebook page…and make your reservation for Memorial Day…it is going to be a blast.

Until next time. …
