We’ve gone tubing here at least 4 times. It’s a fun and mostly relaxing experience. Recommend the longer run because you get more time (3 hours vs 1 hour).
Arrive and park, then wait in line to sign papers, hand over your keys (if you want) and get your paddle (if you want it). Then wait for the bus (10-15 mins) and the bus ride to the river drop off is ~10 mins. The straps to tie the tubes together are on the bus. You pick up your tubes and filler tube (if you rented one). You can choose a double tube or single tubes.
Bring bug spray and sunscreen, water shoes and a hat. Recommend bringing snacks and drinks, waterproof speaker also.
Entering and leaving the river can hurt your feet without water shoes. Walmart has cheap ones for $10. You may also want to get out of the river and pull over on the side to a little beach or rocky area to extend your time. Or, the current might pull you to the side so you may also need to get out of your tube and walk deeper into the river and in this case water shoes are very helpful.
There are usually a bunch of dragonflies which help with mosquitos but there are several biting flies like deer flies and their bites hurt.
Paid $112 for 2 tubes, 1 cooler tube and 1 paddle. Feels overpriced for tube rentals and a short bus trip. Thus the 4 stars.
When you leave the river you exit on the right. If you are not able to exit on time there will be a boat to come and pull your tubes to the exit. You must be off the river by 7:30pm.
You’ll likely see a bunch of ducks and geese along the river, which is nice. Don’t be surprised to go through some rougher parts in the river. It’s not enough to knock you out of the tube but you’ll want to make sure your backpack or cooler are secured properly.
No reservations needed but be sure to check their Facebook page to see if they are indeed open. They usually are open throughout the summer but occasionally they may close down and...

An absolute MUST!!!!
Went this past weekend with my husband, and brother. We did the longer tour which is called the rapid run. it apparently usually takes around 4 hours (more if you stop for a picnic on the banks) The trip took about 2.5 hours in total but that was only because the river was so high, due to two straight weeks of solid rain. The rapids were not rapid, because the river was really high, and there was nowhere to stop on the sides, but again due to the river being high.and not the norm conditions.
You can see the fish swimming up river which is pretty cool, and sometimes you can feel them swim pass underneath you. But they don't really touch you.
Spring for the cooler floaty, it is worth the extra 20 bucks. You can use it as a footrest which makes it extra comfy
For July 2nd the water was quite warm and we were the only ones on the river, so it was an absolutely amazing and breathtaking experience. We didn't bring a camera because we weren't sure how bumpy it could get. You probably can but I wouldn't risk it. I would recommend doing the rapid over the shorter run. The short run seems a little short and for 10 dollars more you get an additional 2 hours of fun and the scenery is stunning.
The staff are all friendly and on it !!!! They shuttle you up to the starting point, let you pick your tube, give you tie ups to attach your tubes togeather. They are also there to help you out at the drop off, so no worries you won't miss it.
WILL DEFINATELY...
