“So glad we drove out of our way to do this!! Had read about it online and thought we might as well spend the day doing it as the sun was cranking and it was just an awesome day for it. The tubes are great and the shuttle is super easy and convenient. Great for a group of friends or families. Lots of fun people on the way down and lots of locals with their houses facing the river enjoying the day as well. Highly reccommend this activity !! Would 100% do it again.”

“We did the river tubing twice in July with our grandchildren and we all had a blast. The kids loved the mini rapids and the slow meandering float down the river. The staff at the Tube Shack was very helpful and thoughtful. Our special needs daughter dropped her water bottle into the lake while trying to get into her tube and the thoughtful young men on the jetty got it back for her and returned it when we got back from our trip down the river. The driver of the shuttle bus was very friendly and polite. Overall an exceptional experience. We also went tot he local ice cream shop the Tube Shack recommended and they had great ice cream and lovely staff who were very friendly, helpful and patient with kids placing their orders. Two wonderful days of loads of fun!”

“Loved this experience. We are glad our friends said to go early. We beat the heat and managed to travel through some brief shady spots because we booked for 10am. By the time we lined up (TIP: you will have to sign the online waver before approaching the reservation counter) and fetched our tubes, parked the car, etc. we got in the water at 10:40am. We were done in 2-2.5 hours because we paddled a fair bit while everyone else seemed to just let the nearly non-existent current move them. The first third feltvlike no current... second third feltvlikeca gentle current and the last third had some swift current sections but not quite like actual rapids. We loved the scenery..There are a couple deep spots in the first Half if you want to jump in for a swim.”

"I took my cousins who were visiting from Ontario this past week. They absolutely loved it. They had 2 young kids with them also who absolutely loved it. Easy to book. Easy to pick up tubes. Float was about 3 hours and 15 min. I've been quote a few times over the years and have nothing negative to say about any of the times that I have gone. Great place. Great business."
