Groups of ten or more tubers with one form of payment for the group receive a discount of $2 off per person on weekdays and $1 off per person on weekends, holidays, and events.
Our tubing schedule is based on the daily releases from the Tuxedo Hydro Station upriver. We update our schedule daily on our Facebook page and we strongly recommend checking the schedule before heading our way. We try to stay as up-to-date as possible, but please know that the dam release is out of our control! Tubing operations run from approximately 11:00am – 4:00pm each day, but the popular two-hour float usually starts around 12:00pm.
We run 7 days per week during season (Memorial Day – Labor Day) as weather and dam releases allow. Reservations are not required, but they are accepted and recommended if you would like to reserve one of our premium tube trackers, mini-cats or kayaks. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are our busiest days. On these days, we recommend arriving closer to the start time for the float you would like to do to assure you are on the water in time. If you appreciate a smaller crowd, come during the week! Please remember that all children must be 42″ or taller to tube.
Depending on the time of day, you will either be dropped off upriver and float back to our place, or be dropped down river and picked up at the final takeout.
Depending on the time of day, you will either start upriver and end at a large concrete bridge or start at our place and finish at the final takeout.
Our longest float starts at the top put-in (Fishtop access) and finishes at the final takeout (Big Rock access - or as we affectionally call it, Fish Bottom).

All children must be 42" or taller to tube—no exceptions. We strongly suggest that all children be over the age of seven. This is not a lazy river; there are deep areas and current. Children under 13 are required to wear a life jacket (a connector strap is provided for children's tubes). Life jackets are provided to anyone on request! You are welcome to bring your own, but be sure it is rated for moving water. Children must wear approved life jackets, "swim assist" equipment is not sufficient.
