Hey there, adventure seeker! If you're looking to catch some sun and have a splashy good time while exploring Boulder, Colorado has just the experience for you: Boulder Creek summer tubing. Whether you’re a local or visiting from Denver, tubing down this scenic creek should definitely be on your bucket list of the best summer activities in Boulder.

Why Boulder Creek?

Boulder Creek's charm lies in its gentle currents, stunning scenery, and accessible location. Unlike the more tumultuous Colorado River Tubing adventures, Boulder Creek offers a more relaxed and family-friendly experience. The serene flow of the creek gives you just the right mix of thrill and chill, perfect for both adrenaline-seekers and those wanting to unwind.

Getting Started: Rentals and Gear

Before you hit the water, you'll need the right gear. Don't worry if you don't have your own—Boulder is bursting with SUP Rentals, Kayak Rentals, and essential tubular gear. For a comfortable tubing experience, consider the Boulder Creek Double Adventure Tube, perfect for two!

Safety first, right? Pair your tube with a Havoc Livery Helmet to protect your noggin, and rent Water Shoes for some slip-free wandering around the creek. For those wanting some paddling action, the Stand Up Paddle Boards are also a fantastic choice for navigating broader stretches of water.

Tubing Tips and Safety

Safety is key to ensure your tubing experience is as enjoyable as it is memorable. Here are some tips to make your adventure smooth sailing:

• Check the Weather: Avoid tubing after heavy rains which can make the creek unsafe.
• Know the Flow: Boulder Creek is usually friendly, but it's best to check current conditions for any unexpected high flows.
• Avoid Alcohol: Drinking while tubing is a big no-no to keep everyone safe.

Landmarks and Local Flavor

As you glide along the creek, take in the sights of Boulder’s flatirons backdrop and lush, tree-lined banks. Post-tube, head over to Pearl Street Mall for mouth-watering eats and local crafts. It’s a great way to round off your aquatic adventure with a dash of Boulder's eclectic atmosphere.
