A fun, free summer activity

A fun and free summer activity for anyone who likes water and being outdoors is tubing the area rivers. To tube the Menominee or Pine Rivers, just throw on a swimsuit, fill up an air tube or air mattress, pack a cooler full of drinks and snacks and grab some family members or friends for an afternoon of fun on the water. Excitement while tubing the Menominee River is the bulls that may be in the water or on the Wisconsin side. Don’t worry they won’t come after you because they can’t swim too well. I have also seen wildlife, such as deer and bear, while tubing both these rivers. The Pine River has more rocks and shallow water, but is a fun trip too. A sturdier tube, such as a semi tire tube, is best for this endeavor.
