Our tubing trips keep guests coming back year after year! Choose between a 4 hour float from Berry Bridge to Brewer Bridge or a 5.5 hour trip from Berry Bridge to Penbrook Landing. On our Niobrara tubing trips, you’ll drift down the calm, slow-flowing river on a giant inflatable tube. Tubes can be linked together so you can enjoy the experience alongside family and friends! Relax, soak in the scenery, and take your time to enjoy the beautiful Niobrara National Scenic River, including a chance to visit the tallest waterfall in Nebraska—the magnificent Smith Falls!
Please note: Pets are not permitted on the tubes or the shuttle bus.
Paddle your way through the scenic wilderness of Nebraska’s Niobrara National Scenic River. At Outlaw Canoe, we offer both single and tandem kayaks as well as 2-person canoes! The river is slow-flowing and calm, with current speeds between three and seven miles per hour, perfect for all experience levels. We provide high-quality gear and include a complimentary Niobrara River shuttle to your launch site, so your trip ends right back where your vehicle is parked.
Want to experience the Niobrara National Scenic River without getting completely soaked? Our new 2 person couch-style tubes offer extra comfort, complete with a backrest for a more relaxed float. Rent a cooler carrier tube for your snacks and drinks, then kick back and enjoy the day. These couch tubes have become especially popular with our more seasoned guests! Trips run from mid May through mid Septemberand include an optional stop at Smith Falls, Nebraska’s tallest waterfall. Don’t forget that at least one person in your group will need to be ready to get into the river and tow your tubes to shore at the end of your trip!
They were easy to work with, answered all of my questions, and welcomed our group of 17 people. We chose not to utilize their shuttler option because we stayed at the Berry Bridge Campground which is where the launch site is located. We drove three vehicles to the ending point, left two vehicles there, and drove one back to the campground. We then walked down to the launch site and got into the water! We will be making this a yearly event.
We’ve floated the brara for 6 years now and have rented from LOC 8 times. We have never had an issue with reserving from them and they’ve always been super friendly, open, and honest. They’ve even helped get better prices with the shuttle since we stay at Berry Bridge. When we float we usually have a group of 8+ people with us and I’ve never heard a complaint from anyone in our friend group. They have cooler tubes and it makes it nice because it fits large to small coolers! Best thing about this is they haul the tubes for you and set them up for you! You literally jump on the river and when getting out at the end they haul them out for you!
We won’t use anyone else but these guys! Highly recommend!
We took our family (4 kids and 2 adults) on a tubing adventure down the Niobrara and booked our tubes through Little Outlaw. Communication was great and everything was in order. We would definitely utilize Little Outlaw again–the whole family had a great time!
I highly recommend Little Outlaw for your Niobrara tubing experience! My husband and I booked our tubing trip with them for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. The staff in the office was great at explaining how to get to the shuttle point and our shuttle driver was so kind and helpful. All of the staff well prepared us for the float and we had a fantastic time!
These guys will do you right. Great communicators and better hosts. We optioned for the 5 hour trip in Kayaks. We managed to enjoy the river for 7 hours. Great fun! You will not be disappointed!
Just got back from floating on Saturday and little outlaw was great. From booking, checking in, the bus ride and getting on. The only thing negative I would say is that we had to pull the tubs up to the top of the hill by ourselves. It would have been nice to have help.
We’ve rented kayaks at least 4 times over the last 15 years from Little Outlaw and always had a fantastic experience. Our last trip was even a fairly large group, and everything went smoothly.
It was easy to find the landing place to park our cars, and Rich was waiting there with a small bus to take us to the launching place. We had no problems with the equipment and the couple of quick instructions he gave us on the kayak (how to adjust the seats and foot rests) were all that was needed.
Our group had a blast and took our time floating downstream, stopping to see all the waterfalls. We took a little longer than expected, but Rich and his wife were very nice about it. If anyone I know ever wanted to kayak the Niobrara I’d definitely recommend Little Outlaw.
Little Outlaw’s couch tubes are super comfortable. My friend group does an annual Niobrara float, and we switched from tubes to couch tubes a few years ago. We’ll never go back now! Service at launch and pick-up is always seamless. We also stay at Berry Bridge (where Little Outlaw launches from) and are coming up on our 10th annual trip. Always a great time!
Friendly place, great prices and great service. Highly recommend for camping or going down the river. You won’t be disappointed.
We had a wonderful time. We rented yep canoes and received instructions and encouragements.
We dropped out vehicle at the end of our trip and were then given a ride to the starting point. Absolutely gorgeous and beautiful trip. Highly recommend!
