Wish you were here! 😎 Tubing on the Green River near Saluda, NC is happening right now! Come and cool off as you float for 2 or 3 adventurously peaceful hours through the stunning Green River Gorge on a tube or an inflatable kayak. Book ahead - starting at 9:30am! - and follow directions for river access with these operators: Green River Adventures and Wilderness Cove Campground. You'll thank us! 😁🚣🛟🤩
