First, you must have a permit to take one down the river. Second, a tube floats much slower than a canoe. Tubes are not allowed to be tied to a canoe. Third, the river is much to cold and in just a few minutes, you are very uncomfortable. We cannot haul tubes in our busses.
Some people like to bring their own life jackets, especially for young children.
However, Baldwin Canoe Rental includes your choice of life jackets or safety cushions. Everyone must have a cushion or a jacket. Children six and under must wear a life jacket at all times while on the river. We recommend jackets for all children. If you own your canoe and are part of a group canoeing with us, we won't haul your canoe.
