Tubing On The Toccoa River

Picture this: blue skies and cotton ball clouds rest between the slow green scroll of overhanging trees as the babbling river sends you floating for two hours of tranquility and fun. Interested? Then you may be ready for a refreshing family adventure tubing down the pristine Toccoa River. TVC’s six-mile stretch of the river in the Aska Adventure Area provides an excellent tubing experience even for beginning river runners, with a great mix of fun and relaxation.

Reservations are recommended, but not required!

What to Expect from a TVC Tubing Ride

You will begin your tubing ride from our launch point at the campground (about a twenty minute drive from downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia). Your tubing adventure will end (for this trip at least!) about six miles down the river at our private takeout area.

Under normal conditions, most of the trip involves a lazy float on gentle waters, but, in a few places, class I and II rapids surge around easily navigated boulders to keep things interesting. This is where your push-off stick will come in handy. You do not need to be experienced to tube the river, but, just to be extra safe, children 12 and under are required to wear a (provided) life jacket at all times.

The float time varies depending on your experience, your pace, and, of course, water flow.  On average, it takes about 2 hours to make it from our launch point to the clearly marked takeout area where you will board our free shuttle. After that, it takes about 7 minutes to shuttle back to where your vehicle is parked.

We have new full-service bathrooms available for your use, along with changing rooms so that you can change out of your wet swimsuits before you leave.

What We Provide:

  • No Wait Time, Even Without a Reservation
    Even with thousands of daily visitors, we have the capacity to get you on the river without the need to wait for others to finish their adventure.
  • Free Private Parking Area
    If you go tubing at some other places, you might be parking on the side of the road and playing leap frog with traffic to get to your launch point. Not with us! At TVC, come and park at our large private parking area a short (and completely safe) walk under the roadway to the river launch point.
  • Changing Rooms and Full-Service Bathrooms
    We provide full changing rooms and new, full-service bathrooms. At TVC, you won’t need to change out of your wet swimsuit in your car or suffer the primitive “charms” of a sun-baked porta-john.
  • Custom Pink Tubes
    Our custom-made, signature pink 48” tubes are equipped with handles and bottoms for your comfort. You may also bring your own tubes if you’d like.
  • Life Jackets
    Life jackets are issued to everyone, and children 13 and under must wear life jackets at all times in the river.
  • Free Shuttle
    We provide a free shuttle ride back from our privately-owned takeout area to your parked vehicle.
  • TVC Store
    In case you forgot something, we carry many must-have items at our store: sunscreen, water shoes, hats, dry bags, snacks, drinks, and more!

What to Bring:

  • Swimsuits
  • Sunscreen
  • Water Bottles
  • Water Shoes
  • Push-off sticks

What Not to Bring

  • Coolers/Alcohol
    Alcohol is strictly prohibited at TVC, and coolers are not allowed on the river. We strive to create a safe, family environment free from potential sources of disturbance. We don’t allow alcohol on the campgrounds or on the river for this reason, and we are vigilant to cultivate a peaceful and wholesome environment for you and your family at all times.
  • Personal Items/Purses/Bags
    We will hold your car keys, cell phones, and wallets for you, but we do not have the space to hold purses or bags.
