Summer activity ideas🌸

I went tubbing for the 1st time in Asheville North Carolina. U can rent tubes online for 30$ for kids & adults. They also have White water Rafting & Kayaking on website to book as well. The float trip down the lake feels like a lazy river & will take 2hrs & 40mins. They have limited parking on sight so 1st come 1st serve kinda of deal. There’s a small shop u can rent tubes for coolers & they can hold personal items so u won’t loose them on water. You will meet with a group of ppl who reserved same time as u for trip & they provide PDF for kids & adults. There are shuttle buses that pass by often to pick u & drop u off to top of lake where ur cars are parked. They have hand paddles that can help u steer yourself from branches & rocks u may come across. Some parts of the lake gets deep & certain areas your able to stand next to your tubes. If u decide to come off tube for a swim sessh, make sure u have some1 help u get back on as it will be difficult to hop back on in deeper water😓

Some things to keep in mind:

- Don’t forget to bring a cooler with drinks. It will get extremely hot! as there is no shade to hide under & bring snacks too

- Sunblock is a MUST! because u will get burnt!

- Bring your speakers for good vibes & u can bring

drinks/smokes as long as staff don’t see them. They don’t check unless u have them expose ofc.

& Last, make sure u bring a nice crew that can help make the slow trip down the river fun & exciting because if not you’ll find yourselves bored at some point lol like the crowd I came with. I tried to open conversations but they seem shut down & ready for the trip to end 🫠

Over all it was a lovely experience & my son enjoyed it as much as I did & that’s all that mattered to me💙
