TUBING ADVENTURE
TOWNSEND • TENNESSEE
Come float your way down two routes on the Little River in beautiful Townsend, TN. We offer 2 awesome tubing routes with a single wristband, which you can float as many times as you want during operating hours on the day of your visit. River Rat Outpost A, also known as our Main Outpost, is our family-friendly float that features relaxing rapids, scenic views, and even a rock jump! This route is ideal for ages two and older, those who are first-timers to The Rat, and is our only dog-friendly float. The Outpost A float duration is typically about two hours.
River Rat Outpost B features what we like to call our “adventure float.” It features a scenic float with adrenaline-pumping rapids and cool, refreshing swimming holes. This route is suitable for ages six and older. The Outpost B float duration is typically about one hour.
