Let’s Tube the Saluda River!
We’ll meet at the Cayce Riverwalk Park (just over the Gervais St bridge on the left at the corner of Meeting and Alexander) at 3:45 to catch the 4:00 shuttle upriver. We’ll be off the water by about 7:00. We’ll coordinate coolers for beverages, etc. later.
It’s about a 2 hour float from Riverbanks Zoo to the Cayce Riverwalk (from the Saluda River to the Congaree River). It’s an amazing river trip. The water is chilly from the Lake Murray dam, so it feels really good on a hot afternoon. They’ll provide life jackets and tubes (with web bottoms). Wear shoes that can handle rocks getting in and out without losing them and don’t forget sunscreen and water!
Palmetto Outdoor Center has offered us a group discount if we have 30 people or more confirmed, so please RSVP so I can make sure we have enough. If not, we can go for the regular price of $15/person/tube.
Kids should be 10 yrs old or older and must weigh over 50 lbs to fit into the life jackets.
I’ll post more details about the trip and what to bring as we get closer to the date.
This will be so much fun!
Reformation Lutheran Church (Fellowship Hall)
1118 Union St., Columbia, SC 29201
DER Tacos (of local food truck fame) will be providing a taco bar of vegetarian and meat options.
Residents are encouraged to bring sides or desserts (Mexican-themed if possible) to share.
We hope everyone can join us to celebrate National Night Out in Earlewood!
Join us as Earlewood Tubes the Saluda!
It will be a fun and relaxing afternoon on the river with friends and neighbors! We did this earlier in the summer and everyone had a blast!
Update from Rebecca Haynes (coordinator):
We are going at 2 pm on Sunday. Meet at the gravel parking lot at the Cayce Riverwalk — be there by 1:45 so I don’t have to worry, please. Adventure Carolina will pick us up and shuttle. I’ll be in a kayak this time.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO BEFORE THIS WEEKEND: call Adventure Carolina and pay for your tube with credit card (or go by and pay in person) (803) 796-4505 — this reserves our spot — I need 50% of us to pay this week, ok? Our trip is reserved under “Earlewood or Rebecca Haynes” And definitely pay before 2 pm Sunday (you can’t pay when you get to the river, ok? When you pay, you can also request a small canoe paddle if you’d like one (at no charge). A life jacket comes with the tube as well. Tell me if you want to bring kids.
I can carry a cooler in my kayak — do y’all want to pay for cooler tubes? (might be able to get one for free if we get more attendance)
And non-Earlewood residents may join us as well (although it would be good if they became a member, ahem).
