Upper James River Tubing Offers Scenic and Family-Friendly Water Adventure in Buchanan
Enjoy a relaxing and fun tubing adventure on the Upper James River in Buchanan, Virginia. This experience is designed for families and friends looking to spend quality time on the water while taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The gentle flow of the river creates a calm and enjoyable setting suitable for all ages.
The adventure begins with a brief orientation followed by a short shuttle ride to the upstream launch point. Participants are provided with commercial-grade river tubes equipped with seat bottoms and carrying handles for added comfort and safety. After reaching the river, guests walk a short distance to the water and self-launch for a scenic float back toward the shop.
The river route features a mix of gentle current and easy Class I rapids, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced tubers. Each trip typically lasts between one and one and a half hours, depending on water levels, offering a balanced combination of relaxation and light adventure.
Guests also have the option to enjoy a second run on the same day at no additional cost, depending on shuttle availability until the final departure at 4 pm. All participants must be able to swim, and safety gear including life jackets is provided. Tubes can also be tied together, allowing groups and families to stay connected throughout the journey down the river.
