Join Farmington River Tubing
for the coolest sport in Connecticut.
Bring your camp or club;
have a birthday party or reunion;
get your friends together
or just bring yourself -- it's a splash!
To Plan Your Trip:
Tubing is for swimmers only. Everyone must be at least 10 years old, at least 4 feet 5 inches tall, and you must be able to swim.
Wear a bathing suit and shorts, a long sleeved light T-shirt, or socks with the ends cut off to slip over your arms (this prevents chafing on your arms from rubbing on the tube), and something to protect your feet (old sneakers, Tevas, water shoes, or wet suit boots work great. Don't wear heavy boots or sandals that may slip off.)
Leave all unnecessary items that you don't want to lose, at home. (eyeglasses, watches, rings, favorite hats, and jewelry are commonly lost during tubing.)
Picnicking is available at the State Recreation area where the tubing starts.
Changing houses and restroom facilities are also available.
Although no effort is spared to provide you with a safe
tubing experience, water and river activities have both inherent and unknown
risks and dangers. These include but are not limited to injury or loss of life.
Lifeguards are posted at the second set of rapids (this is the largest set during
the tube ride) to assist you if you have an emergency.The rest of the river
is unattended and you will be on your own. You will be asked to sign a waiver
and release of liability for yourself and anyone else in your group before tubing
down the river.
