Family safety is a priority at Mendota Expeditions LLC.

No alcohol, drugs, or loud and disturbing music is allowed while visiting.

Children must be at least 4 years old to participate with guardians.   Also, guardians and children cannot share a tube.  Tubes may be bungee tied together to aid in safety.  

Tennis shoes recommended and life jackets are supplied and required at all times while in the river!  Sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, towels, and dry bags are helpful as well.

Keep an eye on the weather.  We won't operate if the river is too muddy or the flow is too brisk and dangerous.  Call beforehand if any concerns (276-696-2742).

Participants must stay on their tubes at all times unless the water is too shallow to float in a certain area.  Do not get out on private property along the way.  While tubing, participants must stay close to their family or party members for safety as well.  Only exit river where pick up is indicated.

All trash must be disposed of properly whether on the river bank or in the river.  Trash cans are provided at launch site and in transportation for return to the launch site.

Only service animals allowed.  No pets should be left in hot vehicles or brought as they can not be a part of this activity.
