The Drift In brings beach bar life to the Arkansas River! Float-up or drive-in for delicious food, sunny cocktails and cold beer on tap.

Located directly on the river at our office, the Drift In offers a place for rafters, the Salida community and the public to gather before or after their rafting trip to refresh, relax, and enjoy the surroundings with great company. Not a rafter? No problem, the Drift In is open to everyone all season long. For 2025, the Drift In will again be serving both lunch and dinner, offering a convenient spot to fuel up before or after your big day on the Ark.
