Kayaking/Canoe/Tubing the river
Our personal favorite thing to do in the area is kayaking and tubing; you get to avoid the traffic in Hochatown and enjoy the river! What could be better?
If you're going to kayak or float the river and you didn't bring your own kayak/tube, you're going to need an outfitter; here are a few:
- ☆ Ambush Adventures (kayaking/canoeing) - (580) 584-2273. The great thing about Ambush Adventures is that you never have to wait to be picked up when you're finished kayaking. After a few hours on the river, most people are tired; the location of AA is most convenient because, when you get out of your kayak or canoe, you just leave it there with an employee, head to your car, and then back to the cabin to rest.
