Hooray! We Have a New River Access Spot!

River tubing is getting closer every day, and we’re excited to share some great news—we’ve secured a new put-in location for our favorite stretch of the North Toe River!

This area was heavily impacted by the flooding and still needs quite a bit of work before it’s ready and safe for guests. We’re putting in the effort now so we can get everyone back on the water as soon as possible.

The best part? It’s the same river section you’ve grown to love.

Goose P**p Island is looking as good as ever and remains the perfect place to stop for a swim, snack, or just soak up the sunshine.

Cow Paddy Rock has changed a little thanks to Mother Nature, but it’s still there and still a great spot to pull over and enjoy an ice-cold beverage.

The take-out remains the same, with the familiar quick 5-minute ride back to the outpost.

The biggest change is the shuttle to the put-in. Since the Toecane Bridge is still gone, the route now requires a longer drive. Expect the shuttle ride to the river to be about 20–25 minutes.

We’re making steady progress and can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the river. Thank you for your patience, support, and excitement as we continue rebuilding after the flood.

Stay tuned for more updates—and get those tubes ready!
