About

Come join us as the sun is setting and the day is cooling off. Bring your favorite beverages and some ice and have a great float from the Ocean to Ocean bridge back to West Wetlands. This float lasts about an hour. If the water is higher we will launch from the Levy road upriver another mile. Tubes must be returned by 6pm.

  • ​From West Wet Lands Park, we shuttle people in our vans up river to Gate Way park (259 S. GILA ST)
  • (We take you up river and you float down river back to us).

More Info

  • Tubes are due in at no later than 6 pm. If returned after 6 pm you will be charged for another float.
  • NO AGE LIMIT The Colorado River is just a wide lazy river with scenery. There are no white caps and no elevation drops. ANYBODY CAN DO IT!!!
  • An extra tube can be rented to carry food, snacks, and tasty beverages down the river for a cost of $20+ tax. The cooler tubes hold 64 qt sized coolers or smaller. You must provide your own cooler, we do not provide coolers for the cooler tubes

What to Bring

  • One cellular phone MUST be taken to communicate with Colorado River Rafting, LLC, once the group reaches the first bridge to notify the company you are one mile from the exit point.
  • One identification must be left at check-in, as this helps keep track of who is still floating and those that have exited the river.
