Take The Longest Float Trip In Indiana This Summer On The Tippecanoe River

As the months begin to get warmer and warmer, it's like Hoosiers always end up thinking the same thing: "What am I going to do this summer?" Well, this summer, we think you should try Tippecanoe River Tubing. Most lazy river floating trips are under three miles long, but this one is 3 1/2 miles long - which means it's excellent for a long trip on a warm day! This lazy river trip in Indiana flows along some of the most beautiful parts of the state and is one adventure you just can't pass up!

The Tippecanoe River is a beautiful little slice of paradise.

It runs through the plains of northern Indiana, extends for about 182 miles, and, for the most part, its flow is slow and gentle. And you know what that means...

That means it's absolutely perfect for an afternoon of lazy tubing in the crisp, cool water!

The Tippecanoe is a popular destination in Indiana during the warmest months of the year, and it's obvious why. The landscape is beautiful and the clear waters of the river only seem to enhance the existing natural beauty.

Enter Riverside Rentals, an awesome adventure-oriented company that offers tube rentals along the Tippecanoe.

It's easy: you drive to the office headquarters, where you'll find a parking lot. You'll park there, go inside, fill out some paperwork and before you know it, you're on a shuttle ride down to the river.

The price of admission and tube rentals is nominal....

....making it a great option for families with children or big groups from camps and the like. You also have the option of renting "a cooler float."

The entire trip, depending on the flow of the river (and how many times you decide to stop), should be anywhere from three to five hours.

We cannot think of a better way to laze an entire summer afternoon away than this. You'll float downstream until you reach the parking area you started at; it's easy, relaxing, and affordable.

There's something to be said about the beauty of the Tippecanoe, too.

You'll encounter lush greenery, wildflowers, and plenty of wildlife. The birdwatching is excellent too, and you might even see some birds of prey out there.

Of course, Riverside Rentals offers more than just the longest lazy river trip in Indiana.

You can also rent a canoe or kayak if you prefer a little more activity in your summer days. No matter what you choose, we're sure it'll be an experience you'll adore. As far as float trips in Indiana go, this place is among the best!

Tubing season begins in June and generally runs through October. However, kayaking and canoeing trips are in-season from April to October, so make sure to plan accordingly. For tickets, reservations, more information, and more pictures, be sure to check out the official Riverside Rentals website.
