Tubing Provo River Utah - Provo River Tubing
Starting below the Deer Creek Reservoir dam and ending at Vivian Park, floating the Provo River is fun and refreshing on a hot summer day. Whether in a tube, on a duckie, or simply in a life jacket, the Provo River quickly moves down the scenic canyon. However, remember that tubing is strenuous and requires good swimming skills and physical fitness. You will encounter bridges, rapids, low-hanging branches, rocks, cold water, and other obstacles.

Tubing the Provo River
Courtesy of BYU Outdoors Float Length: 4.5 miles - 5 miles Time Required: 1.5 - 2 hours Season: Late May til mid-September Tube: If you choose to bring your own tube, be sure it is heavy-duty and will resist popping on the brush as the tube moves against the riverbanks. Transportation: Before going, organize your group with a shuttle vehicle and ensure that every member of your group has a Type V whitewater PFD (life jacket). Proper PFDs are required by law. Temperature: It is recommended that you look at the forecast; the Provo River feeds from the bottom of Deer Creek Reservoir and is a frigid 52° to 55° year-round. Outside air temperatures of 75° or higher and sunny are highly recommended. Use sunscreen and watch for hypothermia! Avoid May: Finally, the Provo River runs at peak levels for most of the month of May. The current may fast and dangerous; several injuries have occurred in the past decade alone because users underestimate the power of the river. Floating the Provo during this time is highly discouraged. |
Provo River Tubing RouteTubing Down the Provo River Utah
Route for Tubing the Provo River
Head north on University Avenue into Provo Canyon. If you aren't renting tubes and riding the Outfitter's shuttle, leave a car behind and continue up Provo Canyon. About 4 miles up the road, just before the dam bridge, turn right. Immediately turn left at the T, and descend toward the river bank on the gravel roads. Find parking nearby the small one-lane gravel road bridge. The water is generally calmer on the other side (river left) of the bridge; several eddies exist and it's easiest to put in here. (See detailed map below) Immediately after putting in beware of the pylons and supports to the bridge. Continue floating down the river, trying to stay in the main river channel. If you fall out of a boat or are floating down without a craft, keep your feet down river and lay as flat as possible to avoid rocks and other obstacles. At Vivian Park, be sure to pull out on the river left side of Vivian Park before going under the South Fork Road bridge. River right is private property. There will be large rocks and concrete blocks to help get out of the water. |
