Things you need to know before you float


What to bring on your float:


​☺ “Secure footwear”: Water or aqua shoes, tennis shoes, river sandals with straps
      (we see many flip-flops go floating down the river...!)
 
☺ Sun block or sunscreen - this is a must!!


☺ Bug spray - you just never know when they're going to "bug" you so be prepared! 
    
☺ Cap, hat or visor & sunglasses (secured with strap) for extra sun protection
      (there is a risk of losing these items as well so keep them inexpensive!)
 
☺ Life jacket - all should have one available, but worn at your own discretion.
     (As long as the jackets are somewhere within your group, it's legal - like on a boat; they can be tucked away
     under a seat, as long as they're there!)
 
☺ Drinking water & lots of it!!
     (it is important to stay hydrated on hot summer days even if consuming other beverages, especially alcohol
     during your float)

☺ Designated driver - and remember that 21 is the legal alcohol consumption age in the state of Wisconsin!
 
☺ Cooler with drinking water along with snacks & other beverages you wish to consume but
​     PLEASE DO NOT LITTER
 
☺ Cash or personal check if you did not pay online prior to your float.  You may pay online via this
      web site prior to your float - we are unable to accept credit cards at the float site. 
      **if you plan to purchase food or beverage at the Burton Tavern at the end of the float please bring 
       additional cash since they do not accept credit cards. 

 
☺  Confirmation email with address for your float:  for the long float, print directions from our web site as a
      back-up to your GPS (see the note on the directions page regarding choosing a route on google maps -
      very important!!)  For the short float, just plug the address into your GPS for your float.
​
☺ Waterproof camera - for capturing the moment(s)!! 
  

 What NOT to bring on the water:

  • Valuable items; cell phone, car keys, jewelry (yes, people have lost rings!) etc.- anything you can't risk losing!
  • Money other than payment for tubing or for the Burton Tavern at the end of your float - they don't accept credit cards 
  • Glass containers - these are illegal and could bring about a hefty fine if you're caught with them!
  • Styrofoam coolers - not sturdy and bad for the environment
  • Rope to tie tubes - we will supply you with what you need to keep your group together!
