Make One Last Splash Before School Starts: Plan Your Saluda River Float Today
July 24, 2026

Summer always seems to fly by, and before you know it, backpacks are packed, alarm clocks are set, and busy schedules take over. If you've been meaning to enjoy a relaxing day on the Saluda River, now is the perfect time to make it happen.



Starting Thursday, August 13, Saluda Outdoor River Company will be closed on Thursdays for the remainder of the 2026 season as we transition into our late-summer and fall schedule.


We'll still be open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, giving you plenty of opportunities to enjoy one more unforgettable float before summer officially winds down.


Beat the Back-to-School Rush

The weeks leading up to the start of school are some of the best times to get outside and make lasting memories. Whether you're planning a family outing, gathering friends for one last adventure, or simply looking for a relaxing day on the river, tubing is the perfect way to soak up the last days of summer.


There's nothing quite like floating down the Saluda River with sunshine overhead, cool water below, and nowhere you need to be.


Make It a Back-to-School Tradition

Before homework, sports practices, and packed calendars take over, spend a day unplugging and enjoying nature together.

A river float is a simple way to:

  • Spend quality time with family and friends
  • Enjoy one last summer adventure
  • Relax before busy school schedules begin
  • Experience one of the Upstate's favorite outdoor activities


New Schedule Beginning August 13

Beginning Thursday, August 13, our operating schedule will be:

  • Friday: Open
  • Saturday: Open
  • Sunday: Open
  • Monday – Thursday: Closed


This seasonal schedule allows us to continue providing the best possible experience while matching the shift into the back-to-school season.


Reserve Your Spot Early

As families squeeze in their final summer outings, weekends can fill quickly. If you've been waiting to book your float, now is a great time to secure your preferred date.


Whether you're visiting from Greenville, Easley, Travelers Rest, Spartanburg, or anywhere in the Upstate, we're ready to help you enjoy one more relaxing day on the river.


See You on the River!

Summer isn't over just yet—but it is winding down.

Gather your friends, pack the sunscreen, and come make one last splash before school starts. We look forward to helping you create one more unforgettable summer memory on the Saluda River.
