The typical lazy river you may envision is the kind you’d find at a hotel or waterpark. Man-made, speed controlled, and surrounded by concrete. However, you can also take natural float trips down Greater Cleveland’s many waterways. If you’d like to go tubing on the Cuyahoga River, you’re in luck! There’s an affordable float trip awaiting your presence out in Cuyahoga Falls. Grab your waterproof bags and get ready to dive in, because you’re going to make a splash with this unique summer adventure.

If you're looking for a bit of fun in the sun, Float The River in Cuyahoga Falls has you covered.

This awesome family-friendly adventure will take you along a less-populated stretch of the Cuyahoga River for two dreamy hours. The sun, the birds, and the sound of flowing water make it an almost therapeutic experience, though it's every bit as fun as any session spent in nature.

Ages five and up can participate, and tube rentals may be discounted if you book with a bigger group.

If you're coming with less than 10 people in your party, you're looking at a rental fee of about $25 per tube.

Typically, float trips are lazy and effortless, but a bit of physical exertion may be required if you hit a slower-moving patch of the river.

Usually, a healthy, natural flow keeps things moving, but sometimes rain is lacking and water levels go down. Be prepared to paddle and scoot your way through areas if needed.

While you can bring your own flotation device (as long as it's US Coast Guard approved), you will have to use one of the provided tubes for your float trip.

Don't worry... there are lots of fun colors to choose from! Make sure you lather up with sunscreen before you head out for the day, and bring a waterproof bag to keep your phone, keys, and other possessions in. People do lose personal items in the river, so come prepared!

There truly is nothing like tubing on the Cuyahoga River.

Down where nature is more abundant, it's almost hard to believe this is the same river flowing through Cleveland! While you relax and enjoy the scenery, remember to stay on the river at all times. While the land surrounding its banks is beautiful, much of it is private property.
