Tubing on Rock Springs

Nice natural place to cool off... Try going during the week if you can. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends.

Bring the sun screen! There is almost always a special event going on. Food festival, concert, something! They do an amazing job at rehabbing the injured wild life and releasing back to nature. Rubbie Duckie Water Works is a splash pad for kids.... might want to bring a swim suit and dry clothes.
