Helen, GA Tubing During the Summer
Are you planning on dropping by our luxurious cabin rentals for a visit in the spring or summertime? During periods of warmer weather, there is no other experience that is quite like “Shootin’ the ‘Hooch” as you and your family or friends go tubing down the Chattahoochee River. Practically right around the corner from you cabin and located smack dab in the milled of the Alpine Village of Helen, you will find the main office for Cool River Tubing Company. From here, you will be bussed up the river to one of two starting locations, based upon whether you would prefer a one or two hour tubing tour down the Chattahoochee.
As soon as you get into the cool, soothing waters of the river, you and your group will be glad that you did! As you relax and float along with the current of the river, you will be able to spend time talking, laughing, bonding, and playing completely free from the distractions of cell phones and other electronic devices. Together you will be able to discover the gorgeous views and vast forests lining the river, and can point out various plant and animal wildlife that you may encounter along the way. You may also discover places where you can “pull off” your tube and swing from a rope over the river and make the jump into the inviting waters before you resume your journey downstream.
The fun doesn’t end when you hit the “take out” point, however. Cool River Tubing Company provides waterslides for some added fun after the tubing excursion. And if you are feeling hungry, you and your group can finish off your day by enjoying a yummy picnic lunch in one of the designated picnic areas.
Helen, GA Tubing During the Winter
If you will be staying with us during the late autumn or winter months when it is just too cold to get into the river, don’t worry! There is still a way for you to enjoy the experience of Helen, GA tubing.
Just a short jaunt away from the cabin rentals, you will be able to enjoy a day of snow tubing at Scaly Mountain, located right across the Georgia border in North Carolina.
There is nothing quite like gathering up your group and racing down the snowy slopes together on snow tubes. As you slip and slide down the powdery white terrain, you will be creating lasting memories while laughing and playing the day away. In addition to snow tubing, Scaly Mountain also allows opportunities for its visitors to go ice skating, build snowmen, and even go ice fishing for trout!
Another favorite destination for snow tubing in the Helen area is Snow Mountain, which is located at Stone Mountain State Park near Atlanta, GA. Whether you would like to tube solo, ride with a family member or friend, or get your group together to all go racing down the different track lanes to see who can go the fastest, there is truly something for everyone at Snow Mountain! Once you make it to the end of the slope, you may not be feeling like trudging all the way back up to the summit, but you won’t have to! Simply hop on the ski lift, ride back to the top, and enjoy another thrilling and chilling ride down the mountain again! As you spend an entire day in the magical world of white, you and your group will have an incredible and fun filled experience that will create lifelong memories and everlasting bonds. Once you’re done snowing, grab the group and head over to Snowman’s Valley and challenge each other to a snowman building contest!
