This is our 2nd visit to River Rage this year. Our first was fine the water was a little low but we were still able to glide over the rocks without getting stuck every 2 seconds. Well...today we were treated so rudely by the counter staff, and it wasnt just us. Also the water is BEYOND low.... after 2 hours... More

We went to River Rage, planning on doing the slower , lower portion of the river. They took our money, had us get our tubes, and did not tell us until we were IN the shuttle van that the lower section had clsoed 30 minutes before. assuming they would not let me risk harm to my 4 YEAR OLD daughter,...

The experience was VERY POOR but the outfitter was ok & did their job of renting us tubes and shuttling us upriver - Man was it LOW!! They did make out like it was going to be a great time and when I called them, they promoted their service based on a better price than the other outfitters to do... More

I'm not exactly sure what a lot of people are talking about when they say they sense hostility. We did not have any of those problems with River Rage. We had a coupon for a dollar off, so we were able to tube for $8. In our party there were 3 adults and my 7 year old daughter. We had... More

We had 14 people in our group. The kids were 4, 13, and 16. The adults ranged in age from 21 to 55. We couldn't decide if we wanted to do the tougher rapids or the lower calmer part. The girl who registered us took a long time to explain the difference. They even had a TV that showed you... More

Aug, 4th 20102, We rented tubes a group of families all together. A couple of the children that were with us passed our exit off the river. So they got out down river some and waited for the rest of the group. I was standing with the kids, when a red Ford pick up truck narrowly missed my child. The... More

We had a great time tubing with River Rage. They provided good tubes, transportation up the river, and changing rooms when we got back. We took a picnic lunch and ate at their picnic tables by the river. They also have a restaurant which looked good. We'd probably eat there instead of bringing a picnic if we did it again.... More

We wanted to experience a tubing adventure and we were not disappointed. While the folks running this location did seem a little less chipper than the folks at River Rats, we figured we could put up with a little gruff for a $20 savings on rafting. Really, we didn't even interact with the River Rage staff except for checking in... More

We planned to rent from River Rage, since we saw their adds. We pulled into the parking lot and right away felt the hostility. We backed out, and went to Cowboy Tubin'. Crazy how fast we could pick up on the negativity people are talking about in reviews.

Be warned that there are several tubing companies all in the same place near "River Rage" company, and those may be fine, but I went with this company. They have a great website and don't hide anything either. They strongly recommended swim soes and sold them for just $10.00! That really impressed me because they could gouge you for more,... More
