As the months begin to get warmer and warmer, it’s like Hoosiers always end up thinking the same thing: what am I going to do this summer? Well, this summer, we think you should try tubing along the beautiful Tippecanoe River. Most lazy river floating trips are under three miles long, but this one is 3 1/2 miles long – which means it’s excellent for a long trip on a warm day! This lazy river trip in Indiana is one you can’t pass up.

The Tippecanoe River is a beautiful little slice of paradise that runs through the plains of northern Indiana.

That means it’s absolutely perfect for an afternoon of lazy tubing in the crisp, cool water.

Enter Riverside Rentals, an awesome adventure-oriented company that offers tube rentals along the Tippecanoe.

Riverside Rentals/Facebook It’s easy: you drive to the office headquarters, where you’ll find a parking lot. You’ll park there, go inside, fill out some paperwork and before you know it, you’re on a shuttle ride down to the river.

As of the time of publication, admission and tube rental is $20 for adults age 13 and older.

The entire trip, depending on the flow of the river (and how many times you decide to stop), should be anywhere from three to five hours.

There’s something to be said about the beauty of the Tippecanoe, too.
