Floating The River Is Fun and EasySummer time in Texas. It's hot. Hit the rivers, bask in the sun, and cool down. Floating the river is the place to be. Flood Update!The state of the rivers is in flux because of the flooding. To find out if the river will be tube-able, call an outfitter and get the most up-to-the-minute information for your river. New Rules for Tubing, 2007If you are in the city limits of New Braunfels, Texas, new rules may apply. Find out more. What is Tubing?Tubing (or "toobing", or "floating") is floating down a slow moving river in an oversized inner tube. Most people get a cooler for beer, put it in another inner tube, and tie it to one of the tubers. Then the whole party latches on to the cooler tube flotilla-style and sits back for a relaxing time. The Origins of TubingWho can say it isn't simple? Texas summers are like an oven. Our spring-fed rivers are icy cold. Some mad genius grabbed an inner tube, some beer, and jumped in! What's New At TubeTexas?We're working to give you top notch river and rafting information, so be sure to drop us a line with your thoughts if you've got a moment. About UsWe love water sports — floating the Texas rivers is no exception — and want to share that others. We give you up to date information about tubing trips and river conditions. We are not outfitters; we do not sell or rent inner tubes. We do not take reservations for tubing trips. We're interested in hearing from tubers and from outfitters. Contact us! Also, if you ask us, it's tubing, not toobing. However, some outfitters use "toobing" for some unknown reason. |
