Low Key Water Fun on Rough River Lake

Get ready for a splash-tastic day out on Rough River Lake with Captain Chris! Our 2-hour swimming and 2-hour tubing package is perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking to cool off and have a blast on the water. For just $300, up to six people can enjoy a mix of relaxed swimming and high-energy tubing. It's the ideal way to spend a hot summer day in Kentucky.

Trip Overview

Picture this: you're cruising across Rough River Lake, the sun warming your skin as you take in the beautiful scenery. Then, it's time to dive in! Our package kicks off with two hours of swimming in some of the lake's best spots. We'll anchor at a calm cove where you can float, paddle around, or practice your cannonballs off the boat. After working up an appetite, we'll break for a quick snack (don't forget to pack some goodies!) before gearing up for two hours of tubing madness. Hold on tight as we zip across the lake, bouncing over waves and taking turns that'll have you laughing and screaming with joy. It's non-stop fun that's suitable for all ages and skill levels.

What to Expect on the Water

Safety first, fun a close second! We provide all the necessary gear for your day out, including top-quality life jackets and sturdy tubes built for excitement. Our boat is well-maintained and equipped with everything needed for a smooth ride. During the swimming portion, we'll be at a spot where the water's typically calm and clear - perfect for leisurely floating or playing water games. When it's tubing time, we'll hook you up to our boat with a long tow rope. You can choose how wild or mild you want your ride to be - just give us a thumbs up for more speed or a thumbs down if you want us to ease off a bit. And don't worry if you're new to tubing; we'll start slow and build up the excitement as you get more comfortable.

Why Folks Keep Coming Back

There's something special about spending a day on Rough River Lake that keeps people coming back year after year. Maybe it's the crystal-clear water that's perfect for swimming. Or perhaps it's the rush of skimming across the surface on a tube, feeling like you're flying. But most likely, it's the memories you make with your loved ones - the shared laughs, the friendly competitions to see who can stay on the tube the longest, and the peaceful moments floating under the Kentucky sun. Our package gives you the best of both worlds: relaxation and excitement, all in one awesome day out on the water.

Customer Stories

"Captain Chris always shows our family a good time out on the water!" - Tiffany

Lake Life You'll Love

Rough River Lake isn't just a body of water - it's a whole ecosystem teeming with life. While you're out with us, keep your eyes peeled for some of the lake's coolest inhabitants. You might spot a blue heron stalking fish in the shallows or an osprey diving for its lunch. If you're lucky, you could see a bald eagle soaring overhead - they nest around the lake and are a majestic sight. In the water, the lake is home to a variety of fish species. Bluegill often swim near the surface, their scales flashing in the sunlight. Largemouth bass might jump out of the water, giving you a quick glimpse before they disappear back into the depths. And don't be surprised if a curious turtle pops its head up to see what all the fuss is about!
