**RESERVATIONS REQUIRED**
ALL PASSES INCLUDE:
Access to both A & B routes all day (10am-4:30pm) + unlimited “Toober Oober” shuttle rides



OUTPOST A (MAIN)
This is our family and dog-friendly tubing route! Your first time at the Rat? We recommend tubing this route first.
Navigate and splash through a series of relaxing rapids and swimming holes in the Little River- a natural, rain-fed river in the Smoky Mountains. Take the plunge and jump off our private River Rat rock jump along your route. Soak in the gorgeous mountain views as well along this Main Outpost (A) route.
Remember – get the most paddle, splash and play out of your tubing pass by tubing both A and B routes until the last trip time of the day!
NOTE: Shuttles are provided to or from entry/exit points for each A and B route, NOT between Outposts. You will be your own transportation between Outpost A and B.
Age Minimum: 3 Years Old**
**Additional age restrictions may apply under high-water conditions, so check our Weather and Water Levels page on the day of your visit!
