7 days/week through season!

Daily Schedules - Season Memorial Day weekend - Labor Day (extended based on weather)

Our tubing schedule is based on the daily releases from the Tuxedo Hydro Station upriver. We update our schedule daily on Facebook and our phone message. Most trips start around 11:00, but the two hour float usually starts around 12:00. We strongly recommend checking the schedule before heading our way. We try to stay as up-to-date as possible, but the dam release is out of our control! We run 7 days per week during season as weather and dam releases allow.

Reservations are not required for tubing. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are our busiest 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 (on busy days). If you appreciate a smaller crowd, come during the week!

Please remember that all children must be 42" or taller to tube.

FAQ

Is this a lazy river?

No! There are class I & II rapids. This is a natural river so there is fast-moving water, rocks, deep spots, trees, and other obstacles to deal with. We recommend that you be able to swim and if there is any question that you take a life jacket (they are provided). 

Do I need reservations for tubing?

No! Just show up during the scheduled times for the day. If you have a group of 20 or more it does help for us to know that you are coming - a quick email a couple of days before is appreciated!

Is there a requirement for children? Lifejackets?

All children must be 42" or taller to tube (no exceptions).  We strongly suggest that children be over the age of seven. This is not a lazy river and there are deep spots and fast-moving water. Children under 13 are required to wear a life jacket (they are provided). A connector strap is provided for children's tubes.

Life jackets are provided to anyone that would like one. You are welcome to bring your own, but be sure it is rated for moving water. Children must have approved life jackets and not "swim assist" equipment.

What should I bring?

Sunscreen, towels, change of clothes, river shoes or shoes with a strap (we do not recommend flip flops!), water bottle that can be clipped on to your bathing suit or tube, a favorite life jacket if needed (NOT swimmies or arm floats for children).

What should I leave in the car?

Everything!  Seriously, take your water bottle, but leave everything else.  You are strongly encouraged to leave your keys in the office after locking up your car.  Locksmiths are expensive!! Plus by you leaving your keys, we know you are still on the water! You are required to leave your keys if you are doing a longer float.

Is there food?

There are snacks and drinks for sale in the office. You are welcome to bring your own picnic and enjoy it on the grounds before or after your trip. We have trash receptacles for your use.  Please remember that if you take something on the river, you are responsible for the trash as there are no public areas (other than the other tubing places) to drop your trash.

What about cooler tubes?

We do have a limited number of cooler tubes for rent, but we do not encourage them. They hold a small cooler and come with a connector strap. Please remember that if you take something on the river, you are responsible for the trash as there are no public areas (other than the other tubing places) to drop your trash.  Please no styrofoam, glass, or excessive trash.

Is alcohol allowed?

Alcohol is not allowed on the Green River or within 50' of the banks. This is regulated by the local police department and game wardens. There is a large fine for everyone in the party if alcohol is discovered.

Can my dog go tubing?

Dogs are not allowed to go tubing with us and are not allowed to be left unattended.
