Elkhorn River Tubing trips last 4-6 hours depending on river conditions. We provide you with a tube, a personal flotation device (life jacket), & hardware to connect your tubes together.
Refunds are only given for cancellations if WE need to cancel due to weather or river related.
We ask all floaters to arrive 15 mins before your scheduled time to make sure we have all waivers signed. There will be a $5 per car parking fee.
The river is very low this time of the year. Because of that we will have to float from Maple street (where you park) to Graske Park off of Dodge. We will bus you back to your car.
Please read this waiver carefully so you are aware that if you are injured or drown, we are not liable. You are floating at your own risk.
