You might be seeing a lot fewer people driving down Water Street with inflated tubes hanging out of their windows or crammed into backseats this summer. Eric Traxler has officially started a tubing and shuttle service, providing a safer and more convenient ride to and from Chippewa River fun. The service starts at $10 but can go up a little, depending on how far you might live from the general downtown/college area. For your money, you get: a rental tube, a ride from your house to either the Phoenix Park or Owen Park start-location and of course, a ride from the Water Street boat landing back home. No more walking barefoot down the sidewalks! There are also some “cooler tubes” for frosty beverages along the trip and group tubes, so call 579-8041 to try it out.
