Tubing in Pennsylvania is one of the best ways to stay cool once summer rolls around, especially when the suffocating heat envelops us. An action-packed day at a local water park? Or something a little more laid back? No matter your preference, there are plenty of outdoor family activities in Pennsylvania. For a leisurely tubing or kayaking adventure, embark on a tubing trip with River's Edge Tubing in Leechburg for an afternoon of fun in the sun.

Kick back and relax with a leisurely float along the river with The River's Edge in Leechburg. The company offers several float trips, ranging from short jaunts to longer, all-day excursions.

If you're eager to spend the entire day on the river, it doesn't get much better than the Nature Day float.

The sun will kiss your skin and the water will keep you cool on this magical 15-mile excursion. It'll take about seven to eight hours to travel from Avonmere to the River's Edge.

Longer trips like this one are only available for kayaks and canoes.

If you're up for a slightly shorter trip, there are plenty of options. You can slip into a kayak or canoe for an eight-mile journey from Roaring Run to the River's Edge, which usually takes from four to six hours.

Rivers Edge kayaking and canoeing promise a relaxing way to spend a summer day.

You don't have to spend the entire time in the river, though. River's Edge recommends pulling over to the shore and stopping by a restaurant to recharge with a meal or ice cream treat.

Shorter trips of just four miles are also offered. These only take about two hours, making them an ideal option for families.

The River's Edge in Leechburg offers tubes, canoes, and kayaks, so you get your pick of how to enjoy the river.

The rental price includes a shuttle to Vandergrift for the tubing trip, paddles, and a life vest, so you'll have everything you need for a relaxing journey.

You can rent a cooler tube, too.

Keep your eyes peeled. You might just pass local wildlife, including deer, during your float.

Rivers Edge tubing is a must-add to your summer bucket list.
