sandy shores tubing

So fun! What a great guide! A great experience! We loved it! A beautiful trip along the river, and so fun with friends!

My husband and I went by ourselves on our first time on the river...that was our first mistake. The Wisconsin River was fun until the last 15 minutes of our trip. The current got so fast we couldn't control keeping away from the shoreline of trees. At one point, because of the current, we got wedged into a set of trees and were saved by a boat with two fishermen that pulled us out. As we continued around the very next corner, we could see the point at which we were suppose to get out for our ride back. We were about a half hour after time they said they would be there, but nobody was there yet to help us. We got caught in a current that started to pull us away from the landing spot. We were told there were some spots that were only 4ft, but could drop off to over 6ft. We took our chances and dismounted our tubes and stood on the ground fighting the current. We slowly made our way toward shore and the land dropped off and we knew we were in trouble because the current was forcing us away...then, by God's grace, my husband found another shallow area and caught us both. WE MADE IT TO LAND! My suggestion is bring your own body life jacket that straps across your waist. The ones they provide only go over your head...my husband's went sideways when we were in trouble and mine went up in my face, cause more issues then what we already had. We will never do this again!
