If there’s one thing you need to check off your list this summer in Steamboat Springs, it has to be tubing the Yampa River. A local favorite and must-do activity, tubing the Yampa offers a chance to experience downtown Steamboat from a comfortable inner tube while splashing in the refreshing waters of the Yampa River. The float can be as long or as short as you’d like, and there are plenty of riverside stops like parks, restaurants, and bars along the way.
Tubing is seasonal, it typically begins late June and ends when Mother Nature dictates. The river can become too low for tubing some summers.
