Frequently Asked Questions

  • About 2 miles or just over an hour on the water.

  • Mid mornings are best. That way you typically avoid the afternoon thunder showers, the crowds, and the chance that we sell out of tubes for the day.

  • Absolutely not. No trash on the river. It is illegal to have an open container on the river.

  • At the James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge. You will see a huge sign that reads “TUBERS EXIT HERE”
