Tubing?

Does anyone here like to take tubing trips down the river? I used to do this with friends a lot when I didn't have small children. We'd strap an ice chest to a big tube, and all just float down the river. It was a lot of fun!

Tubing...that sounds more my speed than white water rafting and such. I could just imagine lazily floating down some beautiful river on a warm day! You could have liquid refreshment and sandwiches for lunch in your cooler...love it!

we tubed down the pigeon river in pigeon forge tennessee and it was a great time! cheap, too. they haul a group upstream n dump em out, then pick em up at the get-out place. i think it was about $10 a person. well worth it to me

Oh, yes, these types of outings are very affordable! I can't go out and do this anymore since I have small children, but I'm sure we'll do it again when they get older!

The only tubing I have done is on the Grand River in Ohio. We had a lot of fun though. It was pretty calm when we went. I love to go tubing somewhere else sometime. Where is the best place you all have been tubing?

There are a few rivers around here that you can go tubing down. Its a great way to spend a relaxing day. The first time I went I bought a big old tube with a backrest and a small drink compartment. It was great for 75% of the river where you didn't have to paddle to move.

Their is a river near my town, I have been tubing there since long.
Its really a great way to relax and have fun and make out your day. They just make a group and push em out.
Really a great fun ! ~_*

haven't done it although by what you guys are saying about it I guess I'll just have to give it a go once in my life atleast. It sounds quite relaxing and something everyone should try at least once lol.

haha I gotta try this. Its true I've never heard of tubing until now. Quite bizarre actually since many people on this forum seem to know alot about it. I guess its just not common in my area.
