Wow what an amazing time I had this past weekend going down the the Salt River with friends. We were their for Memorial Day weekend and this place was packed. The whole river was filled with tubers, kayaks, swimmers, and just people on the banks having a picnic lunch and enjoying the water.
We had our own rafts so we decided to pay the $8 for the park passes to park our car and just fill up our tubes and go. This was nice. We filled up our tubes, parked one car at the top and one at the bottom of the tube trip and went out on the water. At several different times because of wind we went backwards and or did not move at all.
The total float took about 4 hours to complete. One thing I do wish is that they would have paved the area from the river to the road when you are waling your tube either to enter the river or to exit the river. Make sure to bring flip flops to walk on the bottom of the river, sun screen to protect from the sun, and lots of cold beers and snacks to enjoy down the river.
Also! Please do not toss your trash in the river. If you drop something please clean it out! We found so many cans at the bottom of the river and other items. Lets keep the river clean for people years to come!
Have a great time going down the river and I can't wait to go back and do it again!
