Seriously, you can’t go wrong floating down the Ottertail river on a warm sunny afternoon. K&K tubing is the best around! They had nice clean big yellow tubes for adults and some nice red tubes for the kids. We tied together and floated down the river. The kids had a blast!
We had one grandchild who didn’t wanna float the river and they generously kept an eye on her while the rest of the family did the activity. I can’t THANK them enough for their hospitality, honesty and fun family environment!
Your tubing is definitely the Best of the Best!!!!

Stopped at the sand bar and found about 50 leeches on me, no signs or anything to take precautions. The workers at the end of the river had bags of salt so they knew it was a problem. Horrible experience and will never be back

What a great way to enjoy this beautiful country. The river is so safe and gentle. I'd like to go back when the river is higher.
I suggest a short strong stick or small kiddy paddle to help push off of the edge or rocks if your tube gets a bit stuck. Great bang for your buck 7$/per. You can rent a cooler for 5$, but you get it back if you bring all your garbage back in that cooler(Yes, they count cans, no glass allowed obviously). You could even pack a lunch ( they have ice for 2$ , pull off and swim if the river was higher.Fun time with our 2 older teenagers. Thank you!!

This is another rare activity that suits a wide range of ages in a group. K & K is easy to find on highway 34. It is beside another tubing company. K & K is the one on the left as you enter the driveway. There is free parking just beside the barn. $7 per person. They will insist on keeping your keys there at the barn, keeping them safe from the bottom of the river. Do this! One year a member of our family group wanted to hang on to his keys, and sure enough, they are somewhere on the bottom of the Ottertail-resulted in contacting a local dealership, money and wasting precious vacation time getting a replacement set to drive the car back to the resort. At the barn, you can use a restroom and pick a tube. They are large yellow rubber tubes and if you ask, they will tie a second smaller tube for a handy back rest. It gives more support for your head. Small children can use smaller red tubes with backs built in and bottoms to the hole in the tube-no slipping through the hole. Next, you board the big black school bus and take a short 15 minute drive up the river to a drop zone (bring a sharpie if you want to leave your name-all G-rated, kudos K&K) From the bus to water’s edge is about 12 yards. There is carpet on the ground so it is easy to walk barefoot. The slope is very gradual, so if anyone has trouble with uneven surfaces, it is not difficult. Rope is available to tie your sandals to the tube and tie your tube to other tubes in your party. I have done this trip for about ten years in a row (except one year of drought and the water was to low to ride). I have never gotten separated from a member I didn’t want to. The water moves faster when it is high, but it descends slowly, so don’t fear if you all decide to float separately. Tying on just means you can relax a little more and not continue to slow or catch up with each other. When our kids were littler, we did it for peace of mind. There isn’t anywhere on the stretch of river an adult can’t stand up in the river and have water only be up to your thighs. There a some spots though where there are river rocks on the bottom rather than mud and it is slippery and the current picks up slightly, so a smaller person could end up falling and take a dunk. All of my kids flipped their tubes at one time or another and stood up, or as we jumped toward them, they were already getting their footing. Now that my children are in their teens, they all tie together with their friends in a huge circle and float like a ginormous island. In all those years not one experience with unwanted “worms” of the annelid family, if you know what I mean. In all the float takes a little less than 2 hours, mostly in the sun. There are a few spots of shade. On a great day you may see a turtle, or beaver or an eagle. If the water is high, there are some large rocks that are just below the surface, but thankfully since the current is slow, the bumps are mild. A member of the K&K staff is waiting at the end point just past the second overpass you float under. They cut off the string you tied 20 times and collect your tube. There is a 5 minute up-hill walk back to the barn on a gravel road with some larger loose rocks. Some may need an arm to hang onto. If you want, the second ride is free. Back at the barn, there is a shower for your sandy legs and shoes before getting back in your car. One last tip, don’t forget the sunscreen on the tops of your feet! All in all, I love a day I can spend with my kids away from screens!

This place is easily the best tubing experience around! Such a good deal for the whole family. You pay $7 a person and they give each of you a very nice tube and they load it onto the bus for you. They also give you a free tube for your cooler! The bus takes you up the river a couple miles and they have a nice carpeted boat ramp for you to walk down and get in the river. They have string available to tie your groups tubes together and to tie the cooler tube to the group. This was a very relaxing activity and we got to see a bald eagle sitting in a tree right on the side of the river, very cool!! The best part is when you get back to ask they take you up again for free! Two rides down the river, it is awesome!

Nice and friendly staff, very nice tubes,
We entered in next door charlies tubing than one of friend said K&K is using better professional tubes while charlies using truck's tire tube. That was correct. We made really wise decision by going to K&K instead of charlies

Great, lazy river for a family fun afternoon. We went on a Monday. No lines and the river was slow. Our two boys 12 and 10 had a blast. Tubes in great shape, cooler tube was free. It took about 2 hours total.

We decided to tube the Ottertail river and we had a blast. We actually went twice because the second time is free with K and K. The tubes were comfortable especially for the kids. Their tubes actually had bottoms and back rests. We did bring a life jacket for our four year old and were glad that we did because the river is quite deep at times. There is a sandbar where we stopped and swam a little. The first time down we were the only people there and the second time there were several groups of adults drinking here which wasn't nearly as fun for the kids. We will definitely do this again with K and K.

If you want to relax, or have a fun way to spend the day with friends and/or family, floating down the river is the way to go! It's a great day.
K&K people were helpful. They made sure I remembered the twine to tie the cooler tube to my tube. They count your cans before you go, and count the empties when you return - it's their way of keeping the river clean.
There were a lot of families on the river when we were there. Small kids were having a great time - K&K has some tubes that have netting across for the kids. Perfect!
Remember life jackets for the young ones.
I'll do this again!!

Where do you put your valuables like car keys and ID?
Great question. We ask that folks keep important items locked in their vehicles. Keys can be placed on a key-board/wall in front of the building where you just need to remember the number of hook you placed it on when you get done on the river. We encourage folks not to take their keys on the river as we have seen too often keys get lost which can get quite expensive to replace.

What hours are the tubing, and how long does it take to tube the river?
Is there a vehicle to take you to the beginning of the trip and pick up at the end?

I'm not sure of their hours. The length of the trip varies with the speed of the river - river moves faster when there is more water, slower when the water is lower. But it's about 2 hours.
When you go to K&K you rent a tube (don't forget the extra tube for your cooler) and then you get on a bus with your tube. They take you to the start of the float area - and you float downstream- back to where you rented the tube... and parked your car.
I just looked on Facebook - they are open 10AM to 6PM.
