How to Go Tubing on a River

• 1). Locate and purchase a high-quality tube. Make sure that the tube you purchase is of an appropriate size and that it will support your weight.
  
  
• 2). Find a river that's suitable. You'll need to find a river that has clean water, a lack of dangerous wildlife, and public access points.
  
  
• 3). Plot out your trip. Looking at a good map of the river you've chosen, figure out where you're going to start and stop the trip, and plot out some sort of landmark system to help you determine your stopping point along the way.
  
  
• 4). Get all the supplies you need. Your personal needs will vary, depending on the length of your tubing trip and your own personal preferences, but certain items like sunscreen and a bathing suit are necessary for anyone.
  
  
• 5). Go to your starting point. Drive as close as possible and then hike in to wherever your starting point is.
  
  
• 6). Inflate your tube and get everything ready.
  
  
• 7). Go tubing down the river as planned, relaxing, enjoying the weather, and having fun with your friends.
