Before or after the normal tube season you may still tube the river, however you will only have access to the South end of the park (Midpoint & Dampier's Landing) and you will have to walk and carry your tubes wherever you go. Park closing hours change in the off-season with Midpoint closing at 2:00pm, and Dampier's at 3:00pm.
