The splendor of nature's beauty comes to life in her majestic pines, rugged cliffs, and mysterious coves as you glide through the waters of Smith Lake. The "Free State Lady", a paddlewheel-style riverboat, cruises these scenic waters each show date. Relax in the tranquility and peace of a fun-filled excursion cruise or choose the experience of riverboat dining on a dinner cruise and watch brilliant skies turn golden with the setting sun. Master storytellers, like our "infamous" Captain Neal Shipman, spin yarns of yesteryear throughout the two-hour cruises. Captain Shipman is to the Sipsey River what Tom and Huck were to the Mississippi. He knows the river better than anyone. His stories and those of the other storytellers don't come from books, they're part legend, part history, part tall-tale and highly entertaining. "Hill country" hospitality adds to the charm of riverboat cruising, an activity not to be missed!
