t our headquarters. From a Church or Business Firm we know, or can gain reference, we sometimes accept a check at our headquarters on Reservation Day. Advance mailed checks go to Floating Fun, 2080 County Road 6, Wedowee, AL 36278 USA-be sure to reference your reservation information on the check. Please feel free to call our office in advance to verify that we have enough inventory available for your group on the day you want to float. When you advance register prior to your arrival at Floating Fun, your name, phone number, email address, and rental options are entered into our files and arranged by your particular float day and float choice. photo
We now have the option to float the Choccolocco Creek or the Tallapoosa River, pending any water quality issues of the Choccolocco Creek at no extra cost. Nothing beats a refreshing tube trip on a pleasant day, with the soothing sounds of babbling water cascading alongside, with your friends. When you arrive – if your paperwork is in order and you are on the advance spreadsheet, what you rented will be ready for you. Put your life jacket on before going down the bank, and check for others around you, especially youngsters. Then place the tube around your bottom, holding it close, and plop backwards into the water. tube
