Proud To Be Featured by Kidding Around Greenville

At Saluda Outdoor River Company, we’ve always believed some of the best summer memories are made outside — floating down the river with friends, laughing with family, and cooling off on a hot Upstate day.


That’s why we’re incredibly proud to share that we were recently featured by one of the Upstate’s favorite family resources, Kidding Around Greenville, in their guide to river tubing near Greenville, SC. Their article highlighted Saluda Outdoor River Company as one of the top places for tubing near Greenville and one of the closest tubing adventures to downtown Greenville.
