About

Looking for a shorter, easygoing float? This 2.5-mile tubing trip starts at the State Route 296 bridge and drifts down the beautiful Mad River back to Birch Bark Canoe Livery. It's a relaxing way to enjoy the spring-fed, crystal-clear water without committing to a full-day float. Expect about 2 hours on the river, depending on the current. Tubes only — no canoes or kayaks allowed.
