Important Considerations
- Tubing can be hard work especially at lower water levels. There can be a lot of rocks to avoid and difficulties in finding the deepest channels.
- The lower the water is, the more challenging it is. A better option is often a guided inflatable kayak trip. The guide will navigate you through the passable channels and your shuttle is taken care of!
- No open containers of alcohol are allowed on the river.
- No glass containers.
- Pack out all trash and dispose of it in the proper receptacle.
- Dogs must be on a leash on shore and dog waste must be cleaned up.
- Respect private property and do not trespass.
- Be polite and courteous to others on and near the river.
- When approaching anglers, move away to the opposite side of the river to pass.
