River is very pretty BUT water is very shallow (with the exception of one section that was probably 10 ft deep, again no current you will have to swim). We spent more time walking than floating. There was NO current so you had to walk the tubes. Very very crowded, no way around that during the summer. It's not just tubers but people on the banks that either own or renting that are also enjoying the water space. Rocks are so slippery in some parts, no idea how to get away from that. I would recommend asking the outfitters that you use about the water levels. Hope this helps. If you don't mind just slowwwwly floating around get there EARLY!!!
