- Campers can proceed to their campsites and return for their tubes.
- We ask that campers please leave their vehicles at their campsite while renting their tubes.
- We will need a credit card deposit, drivers license and/or a set of car keys to leave for security for your whole group when you rent your tubes.
- We strongly recommend NOT taking your keys on the river - the locksmith is expensive!
- Please leave other valuables at home or locked up.
- Coolers and baskets are available for rent.
- You are welcome to take consumables (food or beverages) with you on your river trip, but please no Styrofoam coolers or glass and be careful with any trash - tickets are given for littering!
- A $5 deposit on any beverage cans taken by you, which will be returned when you return all your cans.
- We recommend you wear shoes and don't forget the sunscreen!
- No personal tubes are allowed.
When you've got just the right tube, head for the river and start floating! You'll go over the rapids, under a road bridge, then watch for signs on the left for the "Floatrite and Hideaway Exit". You'll exit on the left, follow the trail up the hill, and our buses will pick you up. We will then shuttle you back to the top of the river and you'll float back to the Hideaway. Relax...have a break, reload your cooler, then hit the water for another trip, but make sure that your tubes are returned by 8:00 p.m. The float takes about 3-4 hours depending on the water and fun level! |
