There’s nothing quite like summer in New Hampshire. Especially when you make sure to take advantage of every fun activity we have at our disposal. Hiking is always a great option, but that’s a great way to build up a serious sweat. On the extra-hot summer days, you’re going to want to have a way to stay cool. And that’s why we love this incredible river. It happens to be the best river for tubing in New Hampshire. While we certainly haven’t tried every river, we have to admit that this is high on the list.

One of the most popular tubing companies is the Saco Canoe Rental Company in New Hampshire. The operation is small, but they carry everything from canoes to paddleboards and kayaks along with the ever-popular tubes.

The Saco River is one of our favorite ways to stay cool and have fun in New Hampshire. But first, let’s clarify something. This massive river is actually 136-miles long, running through both New Hampshire and Maine, but we love floating through the portion that makes its way through Conway.

The river is nice and wide, plus it’s so shallow that tubing is fun and fairly risk-free. We also love that tubing isn’t the only option here. There are lots of places to stop and enjoy the sandy beaches that dot the shores.

While you can find your own place to put in your tube, it’s a lot easier to handle things through a company that will organize everything for you.

If you choose to go with Saco Canoe Rental Company in New Hampshire, you’ll have a few different trips on the river from which to choose. The trips range from 1 to 5 miles, depending on how much time you have to enjoy the river.

The actual time tubing depends on the water level and the route, but you should plan on being out anywhere from one to seven hours.

What are some of the best things to do in summer in New Hampshire?

Summer in New Hampshire offers many opportunities for outdoor activities and recreation. If you’re looking for a fun adventure, check out Attitash Mountain Resort in Bartlett. In the winter, this is a ski resort, but in the summer it transforms into something entirely different. With attractions like an alpine slide and a scenic chairlift ride, you’ll feel like a kid again. Chucksters in Hooksett and also in Chichester is an epic mini-golf course that happens to be home to the longest miniature golf hole in the world. Once you’re done with 18 holes, why not go for a go-kart ride or visit the aerial adventure course complete with zip lining?

What are the best swimming holes in New Hampshire?

Aside from lazy rivers, natural pools are certainly another option to cool off. From Lower Falls in Conway to Sculptured Rocks Natural Area in Groton and the stunning Emerald Pool in Pinkham’s Grant, you’ll be treated to gorgeous scenery as you swim in one of the natural swimming holes around the state.

Are there any other lazy rivers in New Hampshire?

There’s nothing quite as relaxing as taking a tube ride down the slow stream of a lazy river for hours on end. If you want to cool off in New Hampshire this summer, there are several natural lazy rivers you can head to, rent a tube, and float the day away. Through the White Mountains, you can float along Pemigewasset River on your own tube or rent one from an outfitter in the area. The lovely Connecticut River along the New Hampshire/Vermont border provides a relaxing and refreshing time on a tube as well. With such gorgeous scenic views, you'll want to come back again and again!
