NEW - Iowa Inner Tube Rentals are here!!!
I have 15 tubes for rent in Riverside, Iowa. Tube rentals are 10.00 and a deposit of 5.00 is required. Each one has a back support/head rest and 2 cup holders. You can find a picture of the tubes that I rent by clicking the first option on the drop down menu at the bottom of the page!
All trips should be figured at approximately 9 miles of river for every 3 to 4 hours of paddling time in a canoe. When tubing you should figure 8 to 10 hours right now because of low water cinditions. This approximation will cover most scenarios. Paddling and tubing time can be shortened/lengthened by the frequency and length of stops, and high/low water conditions and it also depends on which river you are paddling on.
Our regular season runs from April 1 to October 1. All rentals beyond these dates are subject to a no rescheduling policy. No rescheduling will be given for bad weather after the regular season closes.
We now have free canoe delivery to Hills Access and free canoe pick up at River Junction when you rent 3 canoes or more. For canoe delivery and canoe pick up for other locations a fee will be accessed!
