In free-floating tubing, the tube riders are un-tethered and conveyed by the current of the Coosawattee River. Tubers paddle with their hands to steer, or groups of tubers can rope their tubes together creating a large floating group. Tubes used for free-floating were true inner tubes, but the customized tubes used at The Coosawattee River Tubing Company offer comfort and ease of use. These tubes are donut-shaped to allow the rider to sit comfortably on their back across the top of the tube while
sitting into the center.The Coosawattee River Tubing Company also offers kayak trips by reservation. Each trip lasts 1-1/2 hours and is $25.00 per trip which includes equipment and shuttle to and from the river.
The tubing and kayaking season opens May 1st and runs through October. The Coosawattee River Tubing Company schedule is as follows:
- May 1st to Memorial Day: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
