Great lazy river tubing spot takes about 3 hours from the state park to the Carlos Miltona road access. Very few obstacles, peaceful pace of the river makes it ideal for a afternoon tubing adventure. Bring sunscreen and beverages!

Fun family 2-3 hour float with your own pickup and drop off required.

This river is always a great time with friends. Note that you can bring food and drinks to float but glass bottles and littering are prohibited as it can be dangerous for wildlife and other floaters. The DNR or whoever has stopped people and given fines for littering. There is a convenient parking area in the state park to leave your vehicle, you can then go leave another one at the end (wherever you want to stop, there are several access points) to give yourselves a ride back to the beginning. There is a tunnel that you can go through where the road goes over the river but if that scares you (it's fun), you can pick up and walk over the road and get back in. It's normally a calm flow of water and we usually spend a couple of hours floating to get to the endpoint that we pick. There are points where it's rocky and weedy so keep your knees up!
