This calm lazy river is one of the best tubing spots in Ontario

It’s peak summer here in our province, and that means it’s the perfect time to float your worries away. Lucky for you, we’ve got an ideal place in mind — O’Kenny River Tubing in Pembroke, Ontario!

This fun and relaxing experience is located on the picturesque banks of the Muskrat River, on the grounds of the O’Kenny Craft Spirits distillery.

This tubing destination has been a well-kept secret for four years, but now, visitors from all over the world are flocking to enjoy its unique charm.

The Muskrat River offers a perfect blend of calm waters and exciting rapids, making it an ideal spot for river tubing.

The river contains shallow rocks, but on your deluxe tube, this will add some extra fun as you bump around gently between them.
