Adventure Down the River in a Tube!
About
Looking for the perfect way to spend a hot, sunny afternoon in beautiful Northern Michigan? Adventure down the clear, refreshing Sturgeon River in a tube! River Tubing is a wet and incredibly fun group experience.
> **Note:** This is NOT a lazy river—you'll need to watch where you're going, paddle occasionally, and push away from logs and sticks. This adds to the excitement for those with an adventurous spirit! Tubing is best enjoyed on sunny days with temperatures of at least 70 degrees.
> **Please Note:** Tubes move slower than rafts, so a 2-hour raft trip will take about 2.5 hours by tube. Upgrades to DELUXE Tubes and Cooler Tubes are available!
- **Large Groups**: Please carpool together.
Trip Options
- **1.5 Hour Trip:** Great for beginners and families.
- **2.5 Hour Trip:** Offers more excitement for the advanced. Not recommended for youth.
More Info
- **Age Requirement:** Ages 6 and older only (no lap riders allowed).
- **Skill Requirement:** Tubers must be comfortable and confident in, on, and around water. Please consider your/your group's abilities.
- **Recommendations:** We strongly recommend the short trip for families and Sturgeon River first-timers.
- **End Point:** Trips end at our designated point inside Burt Lake State Park. Tubers carry their tubes on a 4-minute walk back to Big Bear.
- **You are responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged equipment.**
Book your tubing adventure now and enjoy a refreshing, fun-filled day on the river!
