Why Rockingham County is the Best Place to Tube the Dan River
Not all stretches of the Dan River are equal — and Rockingham County has some clear advantages over other areas:
No alcohol restrictions — Rockingham County has no county-wide ban on bringing beverages on the river. Bring your cooler and float responsibly. Some other Dan River tubing areas in neighboring counties do have restrictions — we don’t.
Higher water volume — our stretch of the Dan River in Rockingham County runs deeper and fuller than upstream sections, meaning a smoother, more comfortable float all season long. No scraping the bottom on rocky shallow sections.
3-hour float — one of the longest self-guided float trips on the Dan River. More river, more relaxation, more value.
Premium tubes — headrests, cupholders, mesh bottoms, and connector systems so your group floats together. Not basic cheap tubes.
Night floats & firefly floats — unique after-dark experiences unique to Floatery. No other Rockingham County outfitter offers this.
Riverside camping on site — extend your trip with a night under the stars right on the Dan River.
