If you’re looking to spend some time in the water but don’t have access to watercraft, a tube float might be what you’re looking for. You can float from Belvedere park down to Tuey park.
It’s 2.5 km of floating and makes for an afternoon of relaxation on the water. You can stop and enjoy a swim in Tuey park and even get some food from the food trucks that frequent Tuey park. This is a free experience, but there is no bus or shuttle, so you’ll have to bring two vehicles or plan a ride between the two locations.
