The Scene
Wisconsin's Apple River is best-known for inner tubing. On hot summer days, folks climb onto the large inflatable black rings and hop into the water with beers in hand and ropes for tying "party barges" together. This party atmosphere is one of the key reasons the campgrounds of Float-Rite Park and River's Edge (two tubing establishments) host multiband summer concerts.
The Experience
Although not big enough to handle something the size of Lollapalooza, the amphitheater at Float-Rite's 62-acre campground is ideal for smaller package tours of the heavy-metal and alternative-rock varieties.
