Win 5 Passes to Go Tubing at The New River Junction

The best way to stay cool!

July 24, 2014

Have you been yuing yet this summer? When you’re looking for a fun activity to do with friends and family, New River Junction is the perfect place to float away your worries and enjoy some fun in the sun. They also offer tent and RV camping sites for those who want to enjoy a longer stay. Both tubing and camping are fun for all ages, and they are a family friendly establishment.

The New Rive Junction is Located at 2591 Big Falls Road in Blacksburg, and they 
start renting tubes at 11am seven days a week, weather and water levels permitting, so show up early and enjoy a whole day of tubing until 6pm for a single fee. Kid sized tubes are available for smaller tubers, and dogs are also welcome as long as they remain on a leash and are picked up after.  The New River Junction can even provide dog tubes for them to float along! Anyone under the age of 16 must wear a life jacket at all times, and they have life jackets to use for FREE!  The mile stretch of the river will provide a melody of rushing water and a scene of steeply wooded mountains. At the end of the ride is the falls, which provide a little excitement to the end of a relaxing float. Above the falls is our Big Falls Park where tubers can make a stop to relax and grill out if they choose to. We provide everything you need to grill, except the food. Our shuttles run as needed, to pick up tubers at Big Falls Park and transport them back up to where they started so that they can keep floating until 6pm when the last shuttle leaves the park.

 

Campers can also enjoy tubing, along with many other amenities. These include a basketball hoop, horseshoe pits, bath houses, free wifi, great scenery, and a relaxing getaway. Learn more here
