Kayaking & Tubing Adventures on Turkey Creek — Kearney, Nebraska
Turkey Creek Kayak Trip
90 Minutes. Zero Stress. 100% Reset.
You don’t need a full weekend.
You need a break.
Turkey Creek winds right through Kearney, but once you push off, it feels like you left town completely. Calm water. Gentle bends. Sun on your face. And yes — a couple fun drops that guarantee you’ll laugh (and get splashed).
This is the trip for people who:
- Don’t want to drive 3 hours to “get away”
- Don’t want to commit their entire day
- Want something active but not exhausting
- Want their kids off screens and smiling again
- Or want to float with friends and a couple cold adult beverages in a small cooler
Yes — you’re welcome to bring a small cooler with adult beverages. Keep it responsible, keep it respectful, and enjoy the ride.
It’s 90 minutes start to finish.

Change if you’re wet.
Drive home relaxed instead of drained.
That’s it.

Turkey Creek Tube Trip
This is not lazy river tubing.
Turkey Creek is narrow. Winding. Active.
You’re in your own tube with a short paddle, steering the whole way.
Bring your own small personal cooler and set it on your lap.
No cooler tubes.
No tying tubes together.
No towing your buddy because they “don’t feel like paddling.”
You’ll wind through 2–2.5 hours of twisting creek, dodge trees, splash through the Whitewater Park, and come out grinning whether you meant to or not.
It’s hands-on.
It’s a little wild.
It’s ridiculously fun.
The Details
- Single rider tubes only
- Must be able to steer and manage your own tube
- No passengers
- No tying tubes together
- No cooler tubes
- Small personal coolers allowed
- River shoes required (no flip flops)
- We provide life jackets and paddles — just show up ready for a good time.
- Thursday–Sunday + Holidays
- Launch times: 12:30PM & 1:30PM
- $32 per tube

It’s simple.
They pick the date.
They call and schedule.
We handle the rest.
Perfect for:
- Birthdays
- Anniversaries
- Graduation gifts
- Teacher thank-yous
- Corporate rewards
