One of the best ways to cool down during the summer is to spend some time on the water. Luckily, you’re never too far away from some river fun here in Louisiana. There’s a spot near our city where you can float the day away in a number of different ways. Outdoor lovers of all ages will love this adventure and everyone will love the relaxation. Try this outing that takes you tubing in New Orleans and enjoy an all-day float trip that will make your summer complete.

Louisiana River Adventures is just a short drive to the northshore, in Franklinton.

Their address is 12409 Camp Circle Rd, Franklinton, Louisiana 70438. As one of the best things to do in Louisiana in the summer, they have everything you need for a day of fun in the sun.

They offer canoe, kayak and tubing rentals, and anyone age 6 and older can get out on the water.

Pick your tube, apply some sunscreen, and get ready to spend a relaxing couple of hours on the river.

The tubes come with headrests and cupholders, so you’ll be floating in absolute comfort.

They also offer tubes for your cooler, so you can pack some drinks and snacks for the trip. Just remember no glass is allowed and be sure to bring along a trash bag and leave no trace of your float along the river.

For $20, you can choose between the 2-hour and 4-hour float. Just be sure to arrive by 2pm if you’d like the 4-hour float.

You’ll probably end up spending longer on the water, because you’ll want to stop off at the many beaches you’ll encounter. Bring a group of friends along and enjoy the perfect summer day.
