When temperatures are scorching, there’s something deeply relaxing about spending time near water. Whether you’re settling in for a day on the beach or dipping your toes in an inland lake, nothing soothes the senses like a shoreline adventure. One wonderful spot within driving distance of Detroit allows guests to appreciate a natural lazy river – and you’ll want to check it out when the weather is hot.
H2E River Adventures operates from 36495 W Jefferson Ave in Rockwood.
Situated approximately 30 minutes from downtown Detroit, this fantastic operation allows Motor City residents and other Michiganders to unwind and appreciate the delights of summer.
When you embark on a journey from H2E, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the beautiful Huron River Water Trail. If you’re searching for a fun challenge, opt to rent a canoe or kayak.
If you’re in the mood to unwind, though, opt for a tubing journey. When you rent a tube and gather up a few friends, you’ll feel like you’ve discovered a natural lazy river that will melt your cares away.
Tube rental costs $25 per person, with cooler floats available for $10. All tubes and cooler floats can easily be connected if you’re hoping to enjoy this relaxing floating experience with friends in tow.
The tubing route launches from the Flat Rock Boat Launch and extends for 4.5 miles to a stopping place at Dodge Park. Take your time as you float - renters are given eight hours to return tubes.
During your float, take time to appreciate the scenic surroundings that make this riverfront journey so spectacular. On a muggy afternoon, you’ll enjoy lounging atop the cool, calm river.
Whether you’re a nature lover, a keen adventurer, or a tired Detroiter searching for the perfect place to relax, H2E River Adventures offers an experience that will make your summer months complete.
