Farmington River Tubing is a fun-filled water trip in New Hartford. The name Satan's Kingdom may be a bit daunting but don't worry, you'll stay cool and enjoy the scenic journey as you float your way down this beautiful river.
Tubing is fun for the whole family, but kids must be at least 10-years-old to participate. For safety reasons, children must also be at least 4 feet tall and weigh at least 50 lbs.
The cost is $20 per person and it includes a specially designed river tube, life jacket, and a return trip back to the starting point when you are done your cruise down the river.
You should wear comfortable clothing that is easy to swim in. Shorts and a T-shirt or a bathing suit will work best. You will also need shoes of some kind, either water shoes or an old pair of sneakers will be just fine.
As you continue down the river, you will encounter three different sets of rapids. Relax and let the tube do the work as you start moving faster towards the rocks and faster moving water.
When your journey is over, you might just want to do it again. If you just can't get enough, for an additional $10 you can tube down the river one more time.
