"The most fun you could have floating down a river."  Water Tubing is an individual activity where participants ride an inflatable tube pulled by a motor boat.

In free-floating, or river tubing, riders are moved down the river by the natural current. Goal of Water Tubing To use an inflatable inner tube to be either towed by a watercraft, or free-float on a river or lake. Rules of Water Tubing Depending on the particular river or outfitter, rules on the river can vary.
