Lazy bends and sunlit banks: tubing the Delaware tributaries out of Pipersville.
This is a classic Pennsylvania river float—gentle current, tree-lined banks and a choice of tube styles that make the run accessible to families and mixed groups alike. Options include a shorter ~3.2-mile float or a longer ~4.3-mile journey, with comfort-oriented tube types and gear-carrying options to match your group’s needs.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Two float lengths for different appetites
Pick a roughly 3.2-mile or a roughly 4.3-mile float—each run offers long stretches of easy current and scenery that depend on river conditions and wind.
Four tube styles plus a dedicated gear tube
Operators offer standard tubes in multiple sizes, ultra-comfortable deluxe tubes with backrests, bonded snuggle tubes for two, and new Gear Tubes introduced for 2026 to carry compliant items while you float.
Designed for kids and mixed-age groups
The operation explicitly positions tubing as family-friendly, with minimum-age rules and tethering options so younger tubers can float alongside an adult.
What the day feels like
What the float feels like
The trip unfolds as an easy, social float—settle into your chosen tube style and drift with stretches of calm water, punctuated by the occasional paddle and the changing light on the riverbank. Depending on the line you choose, expect a shorter two-hour-ish outing or a longer three-hour-ish float, though actual time on the water shifts with wind and river conditions.
