After dinner relax by the fire, take a canoe and explore the reservoir, or go for a swim. Anything goes on our infamous trip. When we are ready, we will return to the shore with only the moon to light the way. The price includes dinner, equipment rental and transportation from Clearwater Sports. This trip can also be booked as a private party anytime, with a group of ten or more.

 

Tubing the Mad River

Nothing is more fun and relaxing then floating down the scenic Mad River. Let Clearwater Sports bring you to the perfect starting point and pick you up two hours later as you drift down this wonderful stretch of the river. Our tubes are cloth-covered so there is no chafing on the hot rubber, and we even have tubes designed to float your refreshments with you! Kids are welcome with tubes of all sizes. This stretch of the river features a few easy rapids and some quick water, but also plenty of smooth stretches for some sunbathing.

Cost: $25.00 per person – Advanced reservations required.
