The Longest Float Trip Near Pittsburgh Will Bring Your Summer Tubing Dreams To Life

Having the Three Rivers right on our front doorstep pretty much spoils us Pittsburghers, right? We can go kayaking, canoeing, or boating on the rivers. Or, we can just pull up a chair at a riverfront restaurant for a delicious meal with sensational views. But, what if we’re in the mood for a long, leisurely float? Set off for this lazy river near Pittsburgh.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

Coal Tubin's shuttle will drop you off at one of two points, depending on the water level of the river. Floats can take between an hour and three hours.

However, if your float isn't as long as you'd like it, climb aboard the shuttle and do it all over again.
