Cool day trip, however, read the full thing. I had heard…read morethis was a cool day activity and had wanted to do it for over two years. John took me for my birthday in the middle of the week. He planned everything and was in contact with Brock, the owner who was super responsive and helpful. He sends out emails with information, packing list and makes sure the weather is good for tubing. When we got there, btw place is easy to find using his address, we signed a waiver and were loaded on a school bus. We were dropped off at a river crossing location and our tubes were attached as well as a tube for our cooler, we were given a paddle and that was all. We were on our own for this 4 h adventure down the river. I should pause to say most people that do this have a different plan and they usually have a big party with a big group and loud noise water guns etc. Our plan was a little different, more of enjoying the river and the scenery. The river itself is dark since the bottom is muddy so no clear waters, but it's clean, there are some tree branches here and there, but no trash itself. There are sandbars along the way where you can stop. The trip usually lasts about 4 hours which is significantly more than what I would've been on the tube if I would have had the choice. We applied sunscreen repeatedly and we still were pretty tan by the end of the ride. Bottom line: well organized and good idea, it gets 4 stars because the river is not the prettiest and the ride is too long (for my taste) maybe offering a half ride from like the bridge on Center might be a good idea. Oh, I almost forgot, bonus points: we saw our first bald eagle!!

I would not hesitate to rent from him again. Next summer, I will have to get him earlier so we can have a ski boat and jetski!! Highly recommend Ben!

He would stop to point out Eagles and their huge nests. He even schooled us on how to identify the ages of eagles and whether they are male or female. Stopping on a sandbar to dip your toes in the river was nice too! His landing has picnic tables that I believe you can rent for get togethers, and and a handy porta potty! It's a bit of a drive from Omaha to Cedar Bluffs but a fun and scenic drive once you hit the country fields! Really only about an hour drive. Can't say enough about this company! What I can say is I will be back and hopefully very soon!!! Thanks Kyle!!

We went tubing down the Elkhorn River in August. We tied up with a group of 9 people & 3 cooler…read moretubes for 4-1/2 hours. Every tube has a lifejacket tied to it. You do not have to wear it if you're an adult. It was almost 100 degrees & all sun, but it did not feel miserably hot, probably due to splashing in the water & cool drinks! The water is muddy & at one point there was a river stench in the air, but it did not last long. Thankfully!! There's a few sand bars you can stop & talk with other people-that was fun. It was an easy float. The river isn't that wide. There's a few logs to dodge & your butt is in the water so you have to lift up so you don't get snagged! Sometimes we got close to the rivers sides & I felt a paddle would've helped us better maneuver our float. We're able to bring pretty much anything other than glass-that'll cost ya $100 fine per bottle!! We brought a waterproof speaker, plenty of cool drinks, snacks & lots of sunscreen!! Water shoes are helpful and if you want to bring your phone, Amazon sells waterproof phone cases four for $8! Don't bring anything you don't want to lose. The river took a hat, shirt and a hair clip. We left our towels and dry clothes in the car. We only went with our swimsuit, hats & sunglasses. It would've been nice if there was a place to rinse off after getting out of the river. We really enjoyed this float and plan to make this an annual event !!

Cabins can bunk 8-10 personnel in each and there are adjacent bathrooms/showers. Great looking lodge for meetings and plenty of activities to choose from. There is also a "River Lodge" that can hold up to 50 people. Our group of 22 really enjoyed Paintball and the Super Swing and there are various games and other activities to engage in as well as athletic courts to compete/play on. Great trails to hike and if you are fortunate, you can see the Bald Eagles along the river trail. Very good facilities. Groups can either bring their own food or you can pay extra and the camp will feed the group in their dining hall which is pretty nice as well. Got to meet the Camp Director; Jon Classen, who was very engaging and helpful. Enjoyed chatting with him about the camp and its' history.

For those with dogs note there are 2 grated bridges to cross. The NRD does a wonderful job keeping up the area.
