If you are looking for a wet ride you can rent a tube and float you way down the river. All participants are provided with life jackets and paddles, where needed, as well as a map and shuttle ride to the put-in point. The length of the trips vary and most begin every half hour in peak times. All trips end right where you started, so you can leisurely wind down the river, stopping to swim or enjoy your picnic lunch. For the less adventurous you can even rent a wetsuit to keep you warm.
Reservations are recommended, so please call ahead to check availability.
