Trip Description

Number of People per Boat: one per boat.

Suggested Paddling Skills for this Boat: Beginner-Novice-Experienced

  1. Beginners are people that have none or little paddling experience
  2. Novices are people that have paddled on lakes, but not moving water
  3. Experienced are people comfortable paddling in river currents

Suggested Ages: 3 years and up. If small children, we supply straps to tether the child’s tube to the adult’s tube

Suggested Weight: up to 300 lbs

This Boat Can Be Used On These Trips: Glen Morris is the best if bringing children or not a strong paddler. The Paris to Brant Trip is a more enduring paddle in tubes, because of no current for the last 1.5 kms.

Sorry, the Cambridge Trip is not an option for tubing because it is too long.

Important Info

What to Bring:

  1. Good sunscreen, hat, sun glasses, retainer string for eye glasses, water & snacks, gloves if hands blister easily, lip balm.
  2. Bring footwear you don’t mind getting wet… the river bottom is rocky.
  3. If you burn easy… long sleeves and pants… otherwise swim suits or clothes that dry quickly. Denim jeans are not a good idea… they stay wet forever!
  4. If cooler weather… dress in layers so you can strip down as you get hot.
