The Somerset/New Richmond area has been named the Tubing Capital of the World for a good reason. What began as a fun spot for locals to tube the Apple River in the early 1960s has become a prime campground and tubing destination in Minnesota. Our tubers get access to over 3 miles of lazy river paradise.
River’s Edge got its place on the map thanks to Charles Kuralt and his show “On the Road With Charles Kuralt.” In 1972 the film crew was in the area and stopped by Rivers Edge to see what the tubing craze was all about. Charles and his crew fell in love with the Raleigh family (owners at the time) and ended up staying for a 3-day vacation! Over the next few years, Charles found himself back to River’s Edge 19 times, enjoying the Supperclub and celebrating the Raleigh’s birthdays!
Today, visitors can enjoy the same thrill of the river on a tube or 500-gallon tank! Our river tubing is open daily during the summer season! Make it a weekend adventure and book your stay at one of our campground sites, cabins, or tiny home!
