This Off-The-Beaten-Path River Tubing Spot In Washington Is The Perfect Place To Escape

Looking for tubing in Washington? When the heat is on in the Evergreen State, it’s time to head to the nearest and dearest water spot to cool off. While there are many choices for places to cool off in Washington, the 214-mile-long Yakima River is an exceptional choice. And if you want someone else to do all the planning for you, consider taking a floating adventure from Yakima River Tubing in Ellensburg.

The reason why this is such a sought-after tubing spot is because the river itself is pretty calm in this area of the state.

Not to mention extremely scenic.

The path from Umtanum to Roza winds through some pretty great scenery, such as deserts, cliffs, and gorgeous rocky areas.

The float trip from Yakima River Tubing will take about three hours with transportation provided back to your car upon completion.

You can bring your own tube or rent one from the company. Life jackets are also provided.

What you can’t rent and should bring along with you include paddles, sunblock, and river shoes.

If you are one of those people who have trouble (guilt) leaving your pets at home (like I do!), know that you can also bring your pooch along for the ride here!

They get their own tube, but not a life jacket.

There are also cooler tube rentals available for refreshments to have along the way.

And get ready to relax and take in breathtaking vistas as you float peacefully along.
