Not far from Rockford is the longest tubing adventure in Illinois.

What Is Tubing?

Basically, it is getting yourself a flotation device, like an inner tube, hopping in a local river, and float your way to the next destination. It is very popular in the Rockford area. There are many different places in our community to try it out.

It is usually an all-day event where you bring food and beverages for your breaks. Adults will turn it into a party though it is fun for families too.

Take It To The Next Level

If you are an experienced tuber, you might want to try out a new adventure. I have just the place to expand your horizons. The best part, it is just a short drive from Rockford.

According to onlyinyourstate.com,
