Each participant must sign a waiver before the tubing trip. Without completed waivers, your trip may be moved to another time that day if available.
Kudos to the Manistee Adventures team for providing excellent customer service and helping us enjoy a beautiful afternoon on the Manistee River. They picked us up at the location where we would finish our trip and transported us to the launch site where a canoe awaited us. When we reached the end, we simply pulled the canoe out, sent a text, and headed home. The entire process was easy and convenient. Manistee Adventures also offers more launch times than the other outfitters I contacted and seems especially willing to accommodate customers’ individual needs. I highly recommend the four-hour trip from Hodenpyl Dam to the Red Bridge Access Site. The river twists and turns through the gorgeous scenery, and the route passes through peaceful wilderness within the Manistee National Forest and Consumers Energy property.
