I used to arrange a huge tubing trip every year down the Elkhorn river in Omaha Nebraska. I would alternate it with tanking down the Elkhorn which was really fun too! You would literally sit at a picnic table in the middle of a horse tank and go down the river! 😜thumbs up for saving someone and earning a new stick! 😊
Armstrong's Everyday Vacay! That would be pretty cool!!! We definitely really enjoy doing this on our mountain vacations! And yes that man told Tyler he wasn't going to be needing that stick any longer! Ironic thing we waited on him after that to float the rest of the way with him cause he was vacationing alone and low and behold he was from Orlando and had worked at Downtown disney in maintenance years ago for 10 years. Small world! Thanks for watching! ~Dawn
It is!! Great little place to take a tube down the river. It's always a must do for us in the summer. Thanks for hanging out with us a bit and have a great week!! ~Dawn
It really was a ton of fun!!! We love to do this each time we visit the Smokies in the summer time! Thanks so much for watching and nice to meet you! ~Dawn
River Tubing looks fun- seems like a good way to cool down in the hot weather! So nice of you to help that person out! Very good thing you were there at that time!
Parkhopbears it's really a lot of fun, one of our fave things to do on our mountain vacations! And you know ironic thing, we waited on that man after we had left him cause we decided we wanted to float down with him cause he was vacationing alone. Small world..he was from Orlando and had worked for Downtown Disney maintenance for like 10 years before he retired. Never know the people you will run in to! Thanks for watching!! ~Dawn
We did have a blast, something we always enjoy going to do on our mountain vacation. And then hashtags all you have to do is put them in the body of your description anywhere. Only like 3 will show up there and you can't put too many or none will show up at all. Easy. Thanks for watching!! ~Dawn
Vanessa Be Trippin hey Vanessa!!! Thanks and thanks for watching! Any of the water videos we have are done with the GoPro hero 5 since it's waterproof. I think the quality ends up pretty good. Other videos are only done with either my phone (Google Pixel 2) or Cathy's (iPhone X). We really didn't want to go out and buy a lot of equipment to begin with until we made sure we enjoyed this (which we do!). ~Dawn
Just Out 'n About that's cool. Definitely makes sense. It can be very expensive but it's fun to make videos. I use my phone or my husband's phone. (Samsung S8) See you guys around!!
Love this, a proper lazy river,, would not get this in the UK! So want to visit the Smokies again! The dog looked as though it was having a great time too and well done for helping that man. Great price too!
It's a beautiful place to enjoy the river!! And yes!! Can you believe that dog? No way my boxer would sit in that tube like that we thought it was cool. And I was glad we were at the right place and the right time. We actually had thought about not going down again and my son and I decided goes to show there's a reason for the timing of everything!! Thanks so much for watching!! 🤗~Dawn
What a nice day! I would love to have such wet adventures... we are having 36/37 C lately.. it would be very well to refresh :) Tks for sharing... great video quality and choice of music :)
Stalker!! LOL...I had to do it! Yes, this one is actually in Townsend. You would cut out Wears Valley Rd there in Pigeon Forge and follow it all the way thru to Townsend and you would see it. We've been using this tubing service for years and they are great!! ~Dawn
This was a blast, we love spending a summer day on the river floating. And yes, it was a pretty scary experience. I'm glad we were there to help him! Thanks so much for watching!! ~Dawn
What a great time and a relaxing time on the river! We used to go tubing in Arizona every summer. Some people's setups were amazing - stereos, large groups, and a few beer coolers..
HB Maverick yes!!! We love our tubing adventures. This particular one won't let you take coolers etc, probably some won't let you because people will ultimately trash it up. 😕But we have seen other areas just like you speak of you can take your cooler and all. Great summer times though! Thanks for watching as always!! ~Dawn
This looks so fun! Awesome video :) I did something like this once and would you believe they gave us RUBBER TUBES?! We were all covered in rashes or “rubber burn” as they called it!! Fun times 😂
Southern Fried Adventures oh wow...we have done that before up on the New River in NC and they gave us rubber tubes. That tube burn was awful. You guys look like a fun channel! We do lots of stuff around this area too. At Carowinds today! Thanks for watching!!~Dawn
Very nice to meet you, always good to find some more friends in the same area! Have a wonderful weekend and looking forward to more adventures from you. ~Dawn
This is a really fun activity we always do on our mountain trips...love spending our time on the river! One of the reasons to love summertime! Thanks for watching! ~Dawn
Just Out 'n About summer time is the best time to enjoy the out doors oh and btw congratulations on almost hitting 500 subs told ya you where doing something right :)
TheYaYaChronicles awwhhh thanks guys...so much!!! Still got a lil ways to 500 but hopefully we make it soon. Appreciate all of you for watching and support! Have a great day!! 🤗~Dawn
Haven't been anywhere in Va tubing but we definitely always visit here while in Pigeon Forge during the summer. Such a blast! Thanks so much for watching!!! ~Dawn
We had so much fun when we did that this summer! I lost all my footage of it though lol. Looks like you guys had a blast as well. They really have a nice set up there. I lost my costa's near the cliff jump through or well my wife lost them. She was supposed to be holding them while I jumped lol. The weather looked beautiful. That was pretty cool that guy had his dog in the float. I wonder if it stayed in it the whole time? Good thing Tyler helped that guy, that could have been very dangerous. That was nice of him to give Tyler that stick.
Southern Food Junkie oh no!!! You lost all your footage??? To be honest I was wondering when you were going to do a vlog from there cause I remembered on IG that you had went tubing here one day. Yes Tyler had to jump out in the rapids and help that man! He was alone vacationing 73 years old. After that happened at first we went on then decided to wait for him and float the rest of the way. I think that made him happy. Nice being able to help people like that. Thank goodness Tyler is not a small guy or he may not have been much help. He told Tyler he didn't need that stick any longer. Thanks as always for watching!! ~Dawn
Just Out 'n About Yes, most was on my phone. I mean the rest of my smokey trip. I had a 128 GB data card to expand my memory and it locked up. I had to reformat it to get it to work again. I was so upset. I still have my GoPro footage from the tubing but it wouldn't be good without the other stuff. That's awesome Tyler and you stayed with him. I can tell you raised him right!
That is so much fun looks like yinz had an amazing time we did did this before our TH-cam vlogging days can't wait to do this again ty for sharing guys
Angela & Arnold Prince we had a blast this is always alot of fun! And awwhh thanks so much from Tyler!! He's actually a pretty big hearted guy! 😉Thanks for watching!! 😉~Dawn
Edutaining yes!! Wasn't the dog great! My boxer would never sit in that tube like that! And yea, I'm glad we could help the man too. He was vacationing alone and on the river alone. Once we recorded that part we waited on him again cause I decided we needed to float on down with him to the exit. Believe it or not, he was from Orlando and had retired but had worked for Disney for 10years! In maintenance out Downtown Disney years ago. Small world! Thanks for watching! ~Dawn
The water definitely tends to head you into the bank and the rocks!! They do have sticks you can get to take to push off with that work pretty well. Lots of fun though! Thanks for tagging along with us a bit and have a great weekend! ~Dawn
Hello my dear friends Enjoy this. I live in Tennessee but have not been there yet. Full view This is awesome. Can't wait to take baby Michael. Wow love your video! Stop by and show us some love Hugs from us
Regan Live Laugh Love hey there Regan! It's definitely a fun thing to do while in TN!! We love it there. Thanks so much for watching and hugs to you! ~Dawn
Touring Tastebuds it really is a fun time! We visit here yearly on our TN vacation and they are very reasonably priced for the day. It is in Townsend near Pigeon forge when you get ready to try to find them! Have fun when you go! Thanks so much for watching! ~Dawn
🤣🤣 I know right!!! It does make you think while you are floating down thru there!! Lol.. thanks for floating along with us and hope you have an awesome day!!!! ~Dawn
Foxes on the Go it's for sure a fun thing to do! Sorry to hear you didn't get to tube, the river was up here on our visit too. Actually I had planned on doing it one of our first days and had to wait until the end of vacation because they had to close a day or 2 due to high water. Hope you get to go soon and thanks for watching! And Tyler said thanks! 🤗~Dawn
+Donielle Roberts hi Donielle! They did actually have some swim shoes inside the gift shop but I don't know how much they are there! But you do have to buy them. If you don't have any you will need them, they are definitely a must! Have fun and thanks for watching!! ~Dawn
The one that we have is the Gopro hero 5. It's a good little camera and serves it's purpose, with some pretty good video! You don't have to have the waterproof case or anything for it. I think the ones before it still had to have a case. Hope this helps and certainly hope you have a great time! We love tubing!! Thanks for tagging along! ~Dawn
You're welcome!! Anytime, again hope it helped. We do enjoy being able to make videos with the water proof camera! And thank you, glad you enjoyed it. You will have to let us know how you're tubing trip goes! ~Dawn
Anna Craven hi Anna, yes it's safe! They will tell you at the office if the water is up or unsafe for kids or not strong swimmers. I've heard them before when it's not they will put an age restriction on. It's really a great river. Fun rapids and as long as you are sitting in the float the correct way, you really shouldn't have any issues. There's only a few deep swimming holes here and there but honestly I don't swim in it neither I rarely get off my float. We use the go pro for water video but they also sell water pouches there for your phones, and they did work! I think they were around $13 there. Hope you have fun if you are planning to go soon! ~Dawn
There are other places in the area I know that offer tubing. As far as I know, you couldn't take the raft elsewhere. They supply the raft and only pick up from the one spot where you exit at the end. Thanks for tagging along with us and have a great week! ~Dawn
Thanks a lot!! I did check it out, looked like you had a great trip to the smokies! Love hiking the trails and all there. So much to do! We appreciate you tagging along with us on our river rat adventure! Glad you had a great visit! ~Dawn
Have you been river tubing in the smokies? It's definitely a must do on our summer Pigeon Forge vacations!!

You guys keep showing us all kinds of great things we need to do in and near Gatlinburg! ❤️ I have only ever seen the tubing place close to Cherokee.
Stalker!! LOL...I had to do it! Yes, this one is actually in Townsend. You would cut out Wears Valley Rd there in Pigeon Forge and follow it all the way thru to Townsend and you would see it. We've been using this tubing service for years and they are great!! ~Dawn
Fun fun fun! 😍😎😉😁 Great job saving that man, if y'all weren't right there at the right time, who knows. He was very lucky. Thanks for the fun video!

The tubes seem to want to drift to the sides alot and get stuck in the rocks. Almost feels like you need a paddle.
The water definitely tends to head you into the bank and the rocks!! They do have sticks you can get to take to push off with that work pretty well. Lots of fun though! Thanks for tagging along with us a bit and have a great weekend! ~Dawn

If you hear a banjo playing and/or a local compliments you on the attractiveness of your mouth, don’t stick around.
🤣🤣 I know right!!! It does make you think while you are floating down thru there!! Lol.. thanks for floating along with us and hope you have an awesome day!!!! ~Dawn
Super jealous! We just got back from Helen Ga and hoped to tube the Chattahoochee, but it was running too fast. Love the video and love Tyler's hat!
Foxes on the Go it's for sure a fun thing to do! Sorry to hear you didn't get to tube, the river was up here on our visit too.

Does anyone know if you can take the tube to another spot in the smokys or if there are places to tube elsewhere?
There are other places in the area I know that offer tubing. As far as I know, you couldn't take the raft elsewhere. They supply the raft and only pick up from the one spot where you exit at the end. Thanks for tagging along with us and have a great week! ~Dawn
