Tube Rentals
Each summer hundreds of people head to the Saco for a day of tubing. The Saco River can be classified as the original “lazy river”, long stretches of meandering water with some short sections of small rapids. It is the perfect way to spend a hazy, hot summer day. So pack a cooler with your favorite food & beverage and head to the river. Along the way you will find rope swings and sandy beaches. Don’t forget to bring plenty of suntan lotion.
Northern Extremes has a 3 mile tubing trip that takes 2-4 hours to its private 12 acre beach. Should be best tubing run in Mt Washington Valley!
