Tubing the AuSable

Enjoy the majestic AuSable River in a tube, it is one of the best ways to spend a hot, sunny afternoon. The AuSable is a great tubing river with very few episodes of rump-bumpin!

Plan to be wet, so wear your swim suit and we also recommend wearing water shoes or tennis shoes. Cooler tubes can be rented if available. Come experience tubing on the beautiful and scenic AuSable.

We do not transport any private tubes or rafts.
