My…read morefavorite part is the paddle there.. when arriving to the island after your short paddle, Jon boat ride, put put , or jet ski ride over you find yourself on a quaint beach. It is one of the most peaceful places to visit. Around the island you look for sharks teeth and you are guaranteed to find at least a small handful... There's also a center of the island at low tide that you can build a fire on, camp on, and just hang out in the cool shade. I don't actually know if you're supposed to camp on it or build a fire on it but it's obvious that people do. Definitely sleep in a Hamic because the island goes underwater at high tide. I absolutely recommend to anyone who comes and visits! We try to go most weekends.. Some of the kayak rental shops around town will meet you at the River so you can kayak over.

It goes along the Little River for about 3 miles and will take about an hour and a half to complete. The single kayak is about $30 or a tandem for about $50 for adults. A youth kayak is about $15 or you can get a canoe for around $65 that can hold a family of 4. Once booked, there is a 48 hour policy for a full refund. If weather is an issue, then you'll get a voucher to be used for a later date. The route itself is very calm and there are not any rapids or fast moving areas. You'll pass a freeway bridge signaling that the end of the trip is coming up. You'll take your board up and a van will come and pick you up and will take you back. Overall, pretty simple!

At first glance you might expect to hear some road noise but the entire 3 mile run is quiet and isolated. The river is not too deep and perfect for any size kayak. There are a couple areas that are a little adventurous that require some traversing but it's a lot of fun with friends. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone out for a casual paddle or a good workout. Thanks for a great time, we will be back!

I've tubed on many rivers but never one that barely flows. It seems we missed the memo about grabbing an oar. There were four in my group and we had two cooler tubes. We were all linked together. There were many times where we literally weren't moving. Each one of us had to take turns walking our group down the river and pulling the rest of us just to make progress. We were told there were sandbars located throughout our trip for us to enjoy the picnic I provided. The only thing we found eventually was a big rock that we got up on to eat. So I would rate Tar River Life highly but the overall experience would get maybe a two from me.

I've lived here for almost 10…read moreyears and have never been anywhere near the river, and I'm also a little afraid of water (though I am a strong swimmer). I'll tell you the stuff I was worried about, and how it went! We went tubing. It's easy and fun to do, great with kids, and it's SLOW. More like S...L...O..O...O..W.. Which is okay. The tubes are big, and the cooler tube is really a must, even if you don't have a cooler. The water is slow (but you could see where the high water marks are, and thinking about this river during a hurricane is terrifying). Before going, I was concerned about: Snakes, rapids that no one knew about, underwater things, storms, biting flies, did I mention snakes? Spider webs. None of those things were an issue. This stretch of the river is really tame, and aside from the sort of treacherous climb down to the water in the beginning (it's manageable), it was extremely non threatening. I have one adventurous kid and one nervous one, and both had a great time. We saw a water snake for about 2 seconds. Zero bugs - I don't know why, but there were none. The bottom was pretty nice. You may want to bring a small paddle - tubes are difficult to propel, and it really is a long trip, 3-5 hours. We made it out in 4. There isn't a lot of shade, so obviously sunscreen. If you have a comfortable life jacket that you wear, bring that - they have the orange kind that are so uncomfortable. Really good time, and so easy. Go! Endor Paddle was a great host, he was extremely helpful getting everyone loaded up, didn't rush us, and made everything easy.

Load up into van which ferries passengers down to the Camelback bridges where they provide inflated innertubes which you carry down to the river. Loading area is non-existent. The first 20 minutes floating down the river is bliss. THEN you will enter a war zone! Apparently there are (numerous?) gun clubs alongside the river and that is all you hear for majority of the rest of your ride! Thankfully no stray bullets but this is FAR from a tranquil ride down the river!
