Set on the Delaware where it meets the Lehigh, this family-run Easton outpost sends guests on a gentle, roughly three-mile downstream tube trip. The operation supplies life jackets, tube tethers and a free shuttle upriver to the drop-off point, and it features an on-site restaurant so you can arrive light or linger after your float.

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

A Manageable Three Miles of River

The core of the experience is a 3-mile float down the Delaware — an easy, mostly relaxed run whose duration varies with river height, wind and how often you pause to drift or pull to shore.

THE SERVICE

Shuttle, Safety Gear and Key Check Included

Everything essential is included: a free shuttle upriver to the starting point, life vests for all guests, tube tethers and a key‑check service so you can float without worrying about logistics.

THE OUTPOST

Family-Friendly Base with Food Options

The operation runs from a family-friendly outpost in Easton with an on-site restaurant — so you can bring snacks or order food before or after your float and avoid carrying a full picnic.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

Check in at the river outpost, stow your keys with staff, strap on a life vest and climb into a tube; staff shuttle you three river miles upriver to the launch. From there you drift back downstream at your own pace — pausing to swim, picnic or tether tubes together — until you arrive back at the landing beside the outpost. The rhythm is lazy and social, punctuated by the occasional breeze and the pace of the river.

Suitability
