Tubing

Beat the heat with a day on the river!

Enjoy three and a half miles of lazy river tubing on the Apple River! We have been making memories on the river since the early 1970s and have everything you need for a great time on the water. Our tubing rates include private landing access, river tubes, and bus transportation. River’s Edge tubing welcomes groups of all sizes and ages, starting at five years old! An adult must accompany children under 18 years old. Life jackets are recommended for all tubers.

Tubing is First Come, First Serve.

Tubing is highly weather dependent, and both air temperature and water temperature play key roles in safety.
