Boat Tubing on Candlewood Lake
The easiest way onto the water and the biggest crowd-pleaser we run. Hang on, laugh until your cheeks hurt, and let the captain set the ride, gentle for the kids or wild for the daredevils.

The whole crew, one giant grin.
Tubing is beautifully simple: you climb onto an inflatable towable, grab the handles, and the boat tows you across the lake while you hold on and howl with laughter. There's nothing to learn, no balance to master, and no experience required, which is exactly why it's the favorite for families, birthday crews, and anyone who just wants pure fun on the water. Grandparents watch from the boat, kids beg for one more lap, and the ride is whatever you want it to be. On Candlewood Lake's big open water we've got room to make wide, splashy turns, and the captain reads your group to keep it gentle for the little ones or spicy for the ones yelling "faster."
How a tubing session runs.
Zero skill needed, just hop on and hang tight.
Fun for the group, run by the locals.
A local crew
We know Candlewood Lake's wide-open stretches where we can make the turns big and splashy while staying well clear of traffic and shoreline.
A MasterCraft that tows
Plenty of pull and smooth, controllable throttle so the captain can dial the ride from lazy-river mellow to whip-around wild in an instant.
Safety on every lap
Properly-fitted vests, a dedicated spotter watching the tube at all times, and a captain who never pushes the pace past what your group asked for.
Tubing questions, answered.
How old do you have to be to go tubing on Candlewood Lake?
Tubing works for a huge age range. Little ones can ride slow and gentle with a parent alongside, while teens and adults can ask for the bumpy, whip-around version. Everyone wears a properly-fitted life vest, and you set the pace with the captain. All skill levels are welcome.
Can we control how fast and wild the tubing gets?
Completely. Just tell the captain, thumbs up for faster, thumbs down for slower. We'll keep it mellow for kids and first-timers or crank up the turns for the thrill-seekers. You're always in charge of the ride.
How many people can go tubing at once?
It depends on the tube, but most sessions let a couple of riders share the tube while the rest of the group cheers, films, and swaps in from the boat. It's the crowd favorite for families and groups because everyone gets a turn.
