You really can't go wrong with any of them!

1. Confluence Park/South Platte River (Denver)

Do you feel like you have to travel far away from the city to get your tubing fix? Think again! While there are a handful of places one can pick to drop their tube, Confluence Park and the South Platte River may be Denver's best, thanks to not only the slow-moving stream but also the beautiful surroundings. Make sure to visit the official website for any and all impotant info you might need to plan your trip.

Address: 2250 15th Street, Denver, Colorado, 80202

2. Boulder Creek (Boulder)

Arguably the most popular place to tube in the state, this spot has been called one of the best in the country! Boulder Creek spans a whopping 32 miles long and features unlimited access locations and convenient rentals via local vendors. Is Boulder Creek a little too busy for you? Yeah, we get it. In that case, you'll want to check out the San Juan River, which is usually less crowded than the bigger cities' favorite getaways. Besides being a little quieter, tubing the San Juan is also unique because it has a stream for every preference, ranging from "slow and steady" to "fast and furious"... ish. Check this website out for more information about Boulder Creek.

3. Cache La Poudre River (Fort Collins)

We didn't forget about you, NoCo! If you live in the northern part of the state, you know that our outdoor recreational opportunities are truly endless, thanks to such all-natural spots as the Poudre. Besides solo tubing, the river is also the perfect place to fish, splash, raft, and kayak - or just sit back and relax by the water. Take a look at the official NPS.gov website for additional information.

4. Yampa River (Steamboat Springs)

When most people think of Steamboat Springs, they think of snow and skiing, but did you know that there is plenty to do in the warmer months, too? Take, for instance, tubing, which is best done in the Yampa River and can last up to three hours per trip. It's to die for! Consult this website for important information about your options for tubing this awe-inspiring river.
