Itinerary:

Come tube the MIGHTY Pembina river (Okay so you can wade across it most of the time)

"Rent tubes and life jackets and use our Shuttle Service to hit the river on the worry free trip as we take you to our drop off point and let you float. Experience the 62 meter gorge created from the Ice Age, various wildlife, and the joy of relaxing while the current drifts along this amazing and winding river"

We'll head out in groups of 10, because that is all the shuttle bus can hold. After the tubing we'll have a BBQ in the Pembina Provincial Park. Park fees will apply.

The tubing will last between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 hours depending on the speed of the river. You can bring along a small pack for water and essentials but we'll not be stopping for snacks along the way. Remember, this is a tube. There is not a lot of places to keep things dry on it. We will car pool from the North Side overflow lot of the West Ed Mall leaving about 830 am for a 10am start at the shuttle staging area in Entwistle.

Wear your bathing suit or clothes that you expect to get wet.
Life vests are provide, however you may bring your own approved PFD.

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $58.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Tuesday, June 9, 2026). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
