An early morning paddle is our favorite; there are so many more birds and forest critters along the water's edge when you're the first one on the river. |

Our River Trips:
Tubing- When it's too hot to canoe the AuSable River, try tubing! Relaxing, refreshing, and sometimes invigorating, tubing allows you to put your feet up and breathe easy. We have a two and a half hour tubing trip from Parmalee Bridge to the Whirlpool Landing. The Rainbow Resort Canoe Livery uses only dual-chambered commercial rental tubes - with and without bottoms. Commercial cooler tubes are also available for $23 each. We can transport some types of personal tubes and the cost is $15 per person. |
