Trip overview

This trip is a 90-minute lazy float through one of Utah’s most scenic canyons on the Provo River. The Provo runs Class I+ - small waves, gentle current, the occasional eddy to swing around - and the canyon walls do most of the heavy lifting on scenery. The easiest way to spend an afternoon on the water with a group of mixed ages.

After check-in and a PFD fit, the shuttle takes you upriver to the put-in. From there it’s all downstream back to your car - about 90–120 minutes on the water depending on flows.

Want to know more about where you’ll be floating? Read up on Provo Canyon and the Lower Provo River - Robert Redford’s Sundance Resort is here, the river is a Blue Ribbon trout stream, and more people float the Provo than any other river in Utah.

Common questions

How long is the float?
About 90 to 120 minutes on the water depending on seasonal flows. Faster, higher water in May–June; slower, gentler floats later in the summer.
What ages can tube?
Single tubes (ages 12+), double tubes (ages 8+ with an adult). Strong-swimmer recommended. For weaker swimmers or younger kids, a guided raft trip is the better option - same canyon, more guide oversight.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
Yes. We require everyone to wear a PFD (life jacket), but you should be comfortable in the water in case you fall off your tube - which happens occasionally on the busier sections.
What should I bring?
Swimsuit, quick-dry layers, water shoes or sandals with heel straps (no flip-flops - they'll get lost), a hat, sunscreen, and a waterproof bag if you're bringing your phone. Sunglasses with a strap recommended.
What's the meet point?
Our private parking area on the Provo River, 3702 East Provo Canyon Road, Provo, UT 84604 - about an hour from Park City. Check in, get fitted with a PFD, and we shuttle you upriver to the put-in.
How does the shuttle work?
On weekdays, shuttles leave every hour from 10am to 4pm. On busy summer weekends in July and August, shuttles run every 30 minutes. You float back to your car at our take-out.
What if water levels are too high?
Spring runoff (May–June) can push flows past safe tubing levels. When that happens we'll proactively reschedule you, upgrade you to a raft or kayak, or refund - your call.
Can I drink alcohol on the river?
Please save it for after. Alcohol and cold mountain water are a dangerous combination, and excessive drinking on the river is unsafe for you and other floaters.
Anything else I should know about river etiquette?
Pack out everything you pack in - wrappers, cans, anything that came with you. The Provo stays beautiful because everyone treats it that way. Be courteous to other floaters, give faster tubers room to pass, and keep noise reasonable so the canyon stays the canyon.
What about cancellations?
Cancellations need 24 hours' notice for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours of your trip are charged in full.
