Laze your way down the Cumberland River, shooting through narrow tubes and enjoying the underwater rock formations.
This tube trip floats the section of river immediately above Cumberland Falls; the take-out is 1/4 mile above the falls. Because of this, it is only available when the Cumberland river levels are low.
The 1 - 1.5 hour trip covers 1/2 -3/4 mile of river. The trip meets at the upper end of the parking lot at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. the driver will drive you upstream to one of the possible put-ins. You can also take the trail along the river to put in further upstream if you would prefer.
Walk down to the river and wade out to where the water runs deeper and swifter, or hang out in the shallow areas and enjoy the warm water and the sun!
The take-out is just after the bridge, near the parking area where you left your vehicle.
