Grab Your Tube and Float These Top Rivers In Texas This Summer
With summer heat gearing up in Texas, you already know what time it is. It's time to grab your tube and do some floating on the best rivers in the Lone Star State.
Folks all over the Lone Star State will soon be flocking to the rivers for some good old-fashioned floating fun. And if you’ve never been tubing? You’re seriously missing out on one of Texas’s best warm-weather traditions.
What Is Tubing?
Tubing, also known as inner tubing, bumper tubing, or even kite tubing, is basically riding on top of a big inflatable donut on water, snow, or even air. But here in Texas, we keep it classic: water, sunshine, and a cooler full of whatever makes you happy.
Whether you're being towed behind Uncle Jessie's boat at the lake or lazily drifting down one of our scenic rivers in an inner tube, tubing is a Texas favorite. It’s relaxing, it’s fun, and it’s one of the best ways to beat the heat.

Just remember to always bring an extra tube for your cooler. Trust me, you don’t want your drinks sinking to the bottom of the river. That said, make sure you check the local river rules—some places don’t allow alcohol, glass containers, or even coolers at all.
