Wondering where to go tubing in Washington? Many of us envision a warm, sunny day spent floating on the river as part of our ideal summer. But more often than not, life gets in the way, and we don’t make the time — or, for some of us, lack of equipment prevents us from even trying.
But none of that is necessary if you book an all-day float trip with the Osprey Rafting company in Leavenworth. All that’s required for the best Washington tubing adventure ever is for you to be a confident swimmer and ready for fun.
Osprey’s Adventure Tubing trip is the perfect way to cool off on a hot day.
KJW1977 / TripAdvisor The tubing adventure is available to adults and children 10 and over. Everyone must know how to swim and be comfortable doing so.
The trip includes shuttle service to the Wenatchee River, where you’ll float from the Leavenworth KOA to Happy Wave, the company’s private beach area.
KJW1977 / TripAdvisor You can run swirly laps at the put-in at the KOA eddy, have splash wars with their Osprey paddle Frisbees, then enjoy a nice, relaxing float with your friends or family.
There is a little bit of thrill to this float – the river route includes two Class-II waves.

Once you’ve finished your float, you can relax at the beach as long as you’d like, enjoy a burger fresh off the grill, and play on the Happy Wave paddleboards & kayaks.

Tubing in Washington June 12, 2019 Jessica Wick Where is the best place to go tubing in Washington? The answer to this question really depends on what kind of experience you’d like. The Leavenworth and Wenatchee areas have rivers perfect for long, lazy floats, whereas more adventurous Washingtonians love to float the Snoqualmie River. The Yakima River near Ellensburg is also popular. Just ask around or check this site here to ensure the river you’d like to float is safe for tubing. What else can I do besides tubing at the Wenatchee River? Aside from being a tubing dream, the Wenatchee River is perfect for quite a few other activities. It’s one of the best rivers in the Pacific Northwest to go paddleboarding, and people love it for kayaking as well. And if you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at fly fishing (or you’re a seasoned pro), just head to this river. It’s full of beautiful steelhead you’ll love having for dinner (or catching and releasing, if that’s your preference). Last but not least, the Wenatchee River is near some beautiful hiking trails, like the Icicle Ridge Trail. Does Washington have clean rivers? For the most part, Washington rivers are very clean. The state has almost 74,000 miles of rivers and streams, and the federal Clean Water Act is carried out to ensure quality and safety. That being said, some rivers are definitely cleaner than others, and we do have a growing pollution problem. Do your research before you go tubing in Washington.
