Wearing the proper clothing is very important and you should consider the season, water temperature, air temperature and the forecasted weather when selecting your clothing.
Everyone must wear shoes that are strapped to your feet and around your ankle on all trips. Old sneakers, water shoes, or strapped sandals are appropriate. We do not allow bare feet or flip flops.
Additional Information for tubing trips
You should also plan your dress according to the following seasonal categories:
Summertime
Cap, visor or inexpensive sun glasses; bathing suit or shorts and a T-shirt; sun screen; old sneakers, water shoes, or sport sandals; towel and a change of clothes for after the trip.
Spring and Fall
It will be a much more enjoyable experience for you if you are dressed for the weather. Cotton is a poor insulator when wet (and you will get wet). If you wear it you may be cold. Wool, polyester, polypropylene, nylon and other synthetics are good. A nylon wind breaker, or rain gear is also a good idea. Wool socks, cap and gloves are recommended on cold days.
Wet suits and splash tops are available for rent and are recommended on cooler days. They will sometimes be required during the off season for water trips.
It is a good idea to make sure you have a secure place to keep your keys and other valuables while you are on one of our trips. We have one-time-use lockers to rent that take tokens or you can leave everything in your car and we can check your keys.
In Addition For Canoe Trips
Bring a short piece of light cord if you need to secure items in the canoe, drinking water (no glass containers), lunch if desired, and a trash bag.
