This All-Day Float Trip Will Make Your New York Summer Complete
When the sun is beaming down on a hot day, there’s no better way to cool off and relax than to get out on the water. Some New Yorkers may be fortunate enough to have their own pools in their backyards, but even so, it’s good to enjoy something out of your everyday element every once in a while! Providing a more leisurely yet also exciting adventure, compared to things like swimming or going to your local water park, getting out on one of the Empire State’s rivers to enjoy a day of tubing is something no one could ever forget. If you’ve still yet to truly experience river tubing in New York, then it’s time you cross off this all-day float tour from your bucket list.
Taking you up into Warren County, the small Adirondack town of Lake Luzerne is where you can find the Adirondack Adventure Center - hard to miss with all their brightly-colored tubes and buses out front.
While some people may choose to drive all the way up north into the Adirondack Mountain's High Peak Region, all it takes is a trip to the southern foothills of the Adirondacks to enjoy one-of-a-kind outdoor adventures.
Just 15-minutes away from the village of Lake George, the Adirondack Adventure Center features Lazy Lynx Float tours that will take you right out onto the upper Hudson River.
As an adventure center operating in New York's beautiful northern mountain region, you'll find quite a few trips and tours available for you to choose from at the Adirondack Adventure Center.
In the past, you may have been envious as you drove along the Hudson River while exploring the Adirondacks and saw fellow New Yorkers enjoying a day full of tubing, but green with envy you will be no longer! Now you can choose to get one of the yellow or orange basic tubes or upgrade to one of the deluxe blue tubes that features a built-in headrest and back to make your day even more relaxing.
Considering the fact that the Hudson River stretches across a total of 315-miles in New York State, there's a good chance by now you've seen one tubing company or another operating on this particular river.
A perfect New York tubing adventure for all ages, after a quick bus ride, you'll launch into the upper Hudson River where you'll be surrounded by views of our jaw-dropping Adirondack Mountains all day.
If there was ever a region we could all agree on that leaves us speechless as New Yorkers, it's the Adirondack Mountains. If you've been craving a new way to soak in the sights and sounds of this scenic region, enjoying this New York tubing trip is certainly something you should consider.
When you get into the river, family and friends can tie their tubes together to make sure no one strays from the group during this exciting tubing trip of a lifetime.
As much as we may want to let that one annoying uncle of ours float off into the distance, it wouldn't be a complete tubing trip in New York if everyone didn't make it to where they should be - rhetorically, this is where tying your tubes together becomes crucial.
The Adirondack Adventure Center also has floating coolers (and other wonderful accessories that often come in handy) for you to rent if you don't bring your own, allowing you to take drinks and snacks with you out onto the water for the day. Did you even realize so much fun could be had as you're tubing through Upstate New York?
Not only will you get to enjoy floating through the jaw-dropping mountains of New York, you can also sip on drinks and enjoy snacks along the way? Pinch me, this all sounds too perfect to be true!
The only things you'll need to bring with you are a pair of shoes or sandals that you won't mind getting wet, sunscreen, swimwear, and towels. So no need to pack heavy for this fun trip!
The great thing about the Adirondack Adventure Center is that they offer a variety of packages that you can purchase to create the most adventurous day possible. Those who are only interested in enjoying one of their float tours can buy a ticket for themselves or buy reservations for larger groups of ten or more. You can also pair up a tubing adventure with their treetop tours, where you'll start the day off by climbing through the Adirondack canopy and enjoying their treetop course, then hitting the water to cool off after working up your adrenaline.

What else can I do besides tubing at the Hudson River?
Stretching across 315-miles, there’s plenty of areas along the Hudson River that you can explore in New York. All throughout the year, New Yorkers and out-of-towners alike can do things like go for tubing tours to cool off in the water, as well as take other adventures like going for a kayak tour on the river that leads you to an abandoned castle. For those who aren’t quite as prepared to actually get out onto the water, you can adventure to places like the Walkway Over The Hudson for panoramic views of the Hudson River.
Does New York have clean rivers?
Despite the reputation that some of our rivers may have received thanks to some of the unsightly scenes that have been witnessed down around New York City – the state of New York actually has quite clean rivers. With over 70,000-miles of rivers and streams in New York, you’ll find the state doing a wonderful job at keeping them clean enough for us to play and swim.
