Whew, get here early! By 11:30 on a Saturday, parking lot is absolutely packed. People parked (I…read morethink illegally?) in the university lot and I had no issues but I paid $5 on the QR code anyway to be safe. Tubes are $25 and come with shuttles. Bring your own tube and shuttle costs $15. Lockers are $5 for small and $10 for large and you have to wait for the staff so make sure you put everything in or take everything out in one go, ideally. Takes a while to buy individual tubes with the waiver so I'd buy your whole group at once if possible. There are small restrooms that are expectedly dirty for people floating the river. Most of the tubes were fine, somewhat dirty but got the floating job done. Lastly, this is unrelated to Lions Club, but it's about 25% of the people that actually follow the can ban and 75% probably aren't while we were there. Honestly ridiculous - just go buy a 64oz Igloo at Academy, it's $15. The tube rental is literally more expensive. We came with two Igloos a pop (one for water) and an extra tube for coolers. It's ridiculous that they have people kayaking picking up litter. Do better, folks.

This is a really lovely place to spend some time outdoors. A beautiful park right by the water,…read morewith a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere. There's a café along the shore where you can sit, have a drink, and enjoy the view of the waterfall -- such a nice spot to slow down and take everything in. It's a great area for walking and casual strolls, and there's also a playground for kids. Overall, it's a wonderful place to relax, whether you're visiting with children or just coming on your own. Perfect for a walk, some fresh air, and enjoying the water. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

Don't bring those bring a shoulder bag version. don't think you're gonna be able to lay out your towel and sit down. It's not a beach. It's very much a river first come first serve. It starts getting dirty later in the day with all the water but that's what we get for moving a lot. There is no camping on the other side of the wall. If you're facing up to the restaurant that would be the right side. Be careful bring your water shoes!!!!!

They have an air conditioned portable bathroom trailer that is decent. 6 stalls in the women's room and they were fairly clean. The summer heat had them smelling a little funky, but I'm not sure what can be done to fix that. The staff was friendly. The school bus ride back to the starting point after the float was nostalgic. For a moment, it took me back to feeling like we were on a school field trip. We definitely see ourselves coming back but at least bringing our own floats for our coolers to cut down on the expense. We had a large group with 2 coolers so it was $50 just to bring our coolers along.

They do have a decent size portable bathroom, which was nice. My only complaint is that they should keep the water on inside them a little longer. We got back to the beginning around 4:30 and went to use the bathroom before heading out, but the water was already turned off. The float itself was actually painful. There are SO many rocks that you constantly hit and scrape your rear end against, and it gets pretty uncomfortable after a while. I'm not sure if I'll be back to this location just because this particular section was so rocky. Overall, it was fun, but definitely bring some extra money and be prepared for a rocky ride!

Nice hidden gem. I've driven past this place many times and never took a second look…read more This place is simple and a little rugged. $5 per person to get in. Get there before 11 and you'll find yourself a nice spot. Bring what you need and don't expect picnics tables or grills. No bathroom either. The drive under the bridge can be a little rough. Parking is limited and it can get packed. We left at 3 and the one lane road was difficult to maneuver with cars trying to go in and out. The river water was perfect. It's not clear, but it sure was refreshing. The river is shallow. Nice to sit on a tube or in a chair. They offer tubing, but I didn't try it. In the area we were at, there were a few ropes kids were jumping off from. Shade is limited.

After ending the tube ride at the designated ending spot it took them an hour to come and pick up. The office was a 5 minute drive away.
