The short trip! | 1-1.25 mile late afternoon float!
Forest Park is the launch for tubes in low and slow water conditions and for the later afternoon departures when our Potters Bridge trip is at capacity. We also launch canoes and kayaks from Forest Park for the short float/paddle down to our River Road livery. You can book this short paddling trip from our Canoe and Kayak trips page on this booking site.
Please Note: Our River Road livery property is private property and not a public access. The adjacent properties down river from Conner Street in downtown Noblesville are also private properties. We do not allow privately owned tubes on our River Tube trips. We do not allow mixed parties of rented tubes and private tubes to land at our River Road property. Private tubes will be turned away, and trespassing laws will be strictly enforced.
