Since
the days of Tom Sawyer
and
Huck Finn, the image of floating down a river on a hot summer
day has always created a sense of adventure.
Located
in the heart of the Catskill Mountains
is a five-mile stretch of river that has become one of the most
popular tubing courses around. People come from all over to
ride the rapids and drift with the current as the Esopus Creek
winds through the beautiful mountains and greenery of the Catskills.
If
you've never tubed before,
head for the Town Tinker Tube Rental headquarters on Bridge
St. in Phoenicia, NY. There the expertly trained Town Tinker
staff will rent you all the equipment you need, as well as giving
you tubing instructions and safety tips.

Town
Tinker has two courses,
novice
and expert. As the name implies, the novice course is for first-time
tubers and those who prefer a gentler ride down the creek; the
expert course is for more experienced tubers. Each course is
about 2 1/2 miles long and each takes about 2 hours. The novice
course begins near the Town Tinker headquarters on Bridge St.
This course has a variety of exciting rapids, fun flumes, and
calmer stretches just made for drifting. At the end of this
course, our Town Tinker Tube Taxis will be your transportation
back to Bridge St. The expert course, which is definitely more
challenging and contains the best of the whitewater, begins
2 1/2 miles upstream from headquarters. Transportation to the
entry point is by Town Tinker Tube Taxis. Along the expert course,
you'll encounter larger, faster sets of rapids with names like
"Railroad Rapids" and "The Chute". Any way you like it, you
can find it on the Esopus Creek.

Of
course, tubing,
like
other recreations and sports, has its hazards as well as good
points, but common sense and following a few tubing tips can
diminish the problems.
Tubing
is fun, it's cheap and almost anyone can have a good time tubing...friends,
families and people of all ages.
Children
must be over 12 years old and good swimmers.
