Time to hit the water and float those worries (and the heat) away. O’Kenny River Tubing in Pembroke, Ont., is on the banks of the Muskrat River and is known as one of the best tubing spots in the province.

This river tubing experience is on the grounds of the O’Kenny Craft Spirits distillery, where they produce O’Kenny spirits like whisky, vodka, gin, rum and moonshine.

The grounds have recently gained popularity for their location on Muskrat River and the tubing experience they provide. O’Kenny River Tubing is entirely self-guided, with all the essential gear provided for some safe fun.

Tubing starts at $29 from July on, with options to add a paddle for $3 if needed, or an extra floating device.

There’s also the option for a shuttle service to and from the parking area.

The tubing experience happens seven days a week, starting at 1 p.m. throughout the summer, with a capacity of 80 tubes. Additional time slots are occasionally opened until 4 p.m. if the 1 p.m. time slot fills up, so be sure to check regularly.

Remember to respect the area and the equipment, but most importantly, have a great time!
