Salt River Tubing and Recreation Area

Damn near died on this stupid river. My wife and I got sucked into a massive rock that we weren't warned about, she got ejected from her tube and we both almost drowned getting out, bashed up on rocks and waited two hours to get air boated out. The hospital we went to told us they get dozens of injuries a month from there and several corpses a month are pulled out of the river. No warnings are given, and because our tubes got stuck on rocks and they said they never found them (rriight), now they want to charge us $30 a tube before getting a license back?! Damn near died, both of us, and they want to charge us for the privelege. Lost my wedding ring, a wallet, a set of keys, etc. There are no precautions except from the locals joking about the corpses coming out of the river. DO NOT GO HERE, there are way better ways to spend the day than gasping out your last on a filthy river with a bunch of drunks. more

Float down the river with family and friends & a cooler of cold drinks. Call ahead to see which routes are running. Bring water, sunblock, wading shoes & towels for the ride home. You will get wet! Pros: inexpensive, good parking, scenery Cons: crowded, drunk college kids more
