10 Epic Tubing Spots In Wisconsin To Make Your Summer Unforgettable

Is there anything better than Wisconsin in summer? All due respect to the Brewers, but if baseball is our national pastime, I think that tubing should be our state one. Really, it isn't summer in the Badger State unless you've gone tubing, right? Especially here, where we have so many awesome spots for tubing in Wisconsin. We've got spots for hitching a tube to the boat or just floating down the river. Whatever your style of tubing, these are the places for it.

1. Wolf River

The Wolf River has some cool, clear waters. The river drops about 430 feet over 28 miles. It's one of our favorite Wisconsin natural lazy rivers.
