Things you need

  • A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is absolutely critical to a great day on the river. We provide one with each rental.

  • Lots of water

  • Sunscreen

  • Sunglasses with a strap

  • Shoe or sandals that are securely fastened to your feet.

When should I tube ?

  • The St. Vrain is a seasonal river and water levels fluctuate daily in May and June.

  • Due to fluctuating water levels we are sometimes not renting tubes.

  • Expect May and Early June water to be very cold, high 40s to low 50s.

  • Expect May and Early June water to be moving very quickly.

  • Late June and July water level are more stable and air/water temperatures are much warmer. Great time to beat the heat and enjoy everything Lyons and the St. Vrain have to offer.
