This place was awesome. We booked ahead of time and the sign up process was super easy. A great welcome and safety speech and then your off on the bus to your drop in point. We went down once and it was very peaceful. Enough fast moving water for some excitement but enough slow, easy floating water to enjoy quality time with family and friends.Honestly, everyone went above and beyond service wise. The float itself was awesome but the staff were extremely helpful at every point on the trip, made you feel welcome, and accommodated everything! Special shout out to Seth who really took the time to make sure our group had an amazing time!

This was our first time. We drove 2.5 hours to get there but we werent disappointed with the trip! Would definitely return!

Nice river, nice staff and good prices

This place used to be a good place to go to for a decent value. A little after they opened I went and it was around $15 for a ride on the weekend, now its $30 (including taxes). So the price has doubled. I understand that theyre a business that has expenses, but I went to their tube manufacturers website to see if I could diy my own tubing experience, but the tube cost is equal to the rental... $30 [[picture]] Also, when me and my friend went, the water was really low. In fact, an employee said it was the lowest theyve ever seen it. On our trip down the river me and my friend had to get out of our tubes multiple times to walk them across water that was 6 or less deep. They shouldnt have let people go on the water that day because it was so difficult.Other than the price hike and the shallow water, the ride was enjoyable. Staff was friendly and it was well organized.I would go again if it werent for the amusement park prices.

We had so much fun Tubing here, they let us go around two times because the water level was low. We cant wait to come back next year to try the white water tubing!

I had a great experience with this company. My tubing group had to deal with a medical emergency and Kassidy handled the situation very calmly and professional. Can’t recommend this company enough!!

My friends and I had a great time tubing, but the process definitely could have been smoother. The website mentions a parking lot which we couldnt find, so we had to call to see if there were actually parking options. Luckily on street parking was free on Saturday! When we walked in to check in it wasnt clear which steps you had to take and when shuttles were leaving. The signage and communication were poor. The shuttle ride picked up people along the way who wanted to take a second turn floating and it was WAY too crowded and mask enforcement was non existent which made my group feel really anxious. Once we arrived at the load in spot we were once again met with no signage and the staff wasnt giving us any directions about which tubes to grab or where to even enter the water. Better signage and/or clearer staff communication would make this much better!

Had a blast floating down the river! Not a quick moving river, which made for a nice break away from reality with some good friends

The employees were very nice! The tubes were very nice and comfortable and it was nice to get out and feel some cool water! They also had plenty of different types of rafts to choose from. I would definitely reccomend to anyone wanting something to do!!!

Lots of family fun. Beautiful sites along the river

This was our second trip down the Stoney Creek River. Unfortunately, this trip, someone in our party fell and injured themselves. They ended up with a broken toe, bruised knees, and sprained ankle. But, The staff was super responsive, carried him out of the river, put us on a special bus to get us back to our car, and was very nice and supportive through the entire ordeal. Some of our party got to complete the float and really had a nice time. We will be back in spite of the injury. Hope to have a better trip our third time out.

Personnel were very friendly and helpful. The reason for the low rating is I was told it would be 1.5 hours tubing and it was only 45 minutes. Pretty expensive for a lack luster experience. Seemed as if we were dropped off at an early point to accommodate the lateness of the start due to a group not showing up at their reservation time. The walk out at the end had us covered in dirt as well from walking up a hill.

It was awesome! We had a blast! There were 6 adults, I loved it go in again.

We had a really nice day. Our guide Hunter was really good and seemed to know his stuff!! Made us laugh.

Ive been here twice. Professional outfit with quality equipment. So far its been great both times. I highly recommend checking it out

Fun family trip must wear water shoes and sunscreen if the tides too low its too many rocks very fun time and good experience staff was amazing

Had a great time. We will be back when the water is higher

Great fun place. The guides are amazingly friendly and fun.

Loved it. Would definitely go again

Fun inexpensive family entertainment. Great experience, great staff.

Ok. This is a good review and I’ll be the first to acknowledge that they are in a temp facility.Read the website for parking! Lincoln Parking garage. ALL THE WAY UP. Look for “JRA” and the parking is covered with your trip.-Level 6.-It is open air (uncovered)-One stair well. Take it to Level 5. Cross over to the other one and the elevator and other stairwell are there. Down to the ground. A left and a left and you’ll be at the front door.Don’t bring anything you’re not prepared to carry and keep dry. A possible alternative is to bring your own lock for the changing rooms, but if you don’t “have” to, I’d leave it in a safer place.They will take car keys as collateral for your tube. No problem. Website says some other items work as well, but car keys are the easiest.Catch the water at the right time. Hard if you book in advance for the discount/good rates and to make sure you make it in, but we went when it was just over the minimum (~2.8ish). Bit slow. Manageable, fun, but a bit slow and a more than a few spots you’ll have to get out/extricate yourself from a quarry. Recommend going at a 3-3.5 if you can mange it.If you have small kids - it is a LONG time at that speed (again 2.8ish). Sunscreen, water, and probably a snack or three. Sunshirts are highly recommended. I worn one and heavy SPF. Feel fine and no burns, but still got plenty of sun.It is dirty at the “Get Out” spot. Tread carefully or know you’ll be cleaning shoes.*-Recommendation to the business would be some mats to lay down there from the water to the first set of stairs. Manageable from there.Overall a great experience and we’ll be back.

I had a really excellent time on the river with this company. The river area that they bring you to is a really spectacular spot. Its a gorgeous place to spend the day and I cant wait to go back. The staff was friendly and helpful and best of all, minimally invasive. We didnt see them once while we were on the river except to direct us to the exit. They just allow you to do your own thing and its really nice.A couple of tips: if you want to ride twice, you pretty much have to show up right when they open. We got on the second shuttle bus and barely had time to have lunch and get back on the river. You also might want to bring a little bit of string to tie your tubes together. They provided some flimsy twine but they were a little stingy with it and it was nice to have our own.Overall, this was a great experience. This company does a good job and I would definitely recommend them.

Great time on the river. Well organized company. Have gone several times and will return.

Super fun place to go. It is so cool that you can tube for 2 miles and just relax for the cheap price. If you are looking for a place to have fun when its a thousand degrees out then this is the place. You go to the main place and get shuttled to Green house and start from there. In my opinion it is awesome

Fantastic time. So fun. Guides are great. At 75 I was the oldest person they have taken white water tubing. You cant go wrong with these guys. If you flip off the tube, as I did, they are right there to help you.

This is an excellent adventure for all ages. We spent the whole weekend tubing all 3 runs were great. A special shout out to Hunter. Thank you for excellent communication and take out. Any visit to Johnstown must include an adventure with Coal Tubing

My son and I had a blast! We will definitely be back next season. Fun for all ages.

We had a blast but would have been alot better if the water was a little deeper. It was so shallow we dragged along rocks and got bruised and cut from them!!

Surprisingly for being in johnstown you dont see much of the city. The trip on the river was very relaxing. Stopped a few times to play in the water. The trip took a couple of hours and everyone in our group had a great time. We are planning to go a couple more times this year. The staff was great and very knowledgeable. They have different styles of tube and you can rent a cooler tube. I only thing I will change on the next trip is I need to take more beer I ran out the last trip

Could have been longer

Great place to go tubing!! Bobby and tube down the river its great!!!

This is a great place to go if you want to go white water rafting, or tubing. The prices are very reasonable, and this is for people of all levels of experience. Plus, you can buy recycled paper products there. Most importantly, they have great service. This is a terrific place to go, and help the Johnstown economy.

Staff new thier job .were friendly.nice scenic views.peaceful.trip.

Very friendly crew and the tubing was an excellent experience. We did have an issue with waiting a long time for the shuttle both to and from the water. Overall, it was a great time and I would recommend this location for a good tubing experience.

I love tubing. This is the place to go to for great outdoor fun

The customer service is phenomenal, the river is super fun. You just have to be aware of your surroundings. The staff are fun and super helpful. I highly recommend Coal Tubin!

Good family time. A little expensive. They moved the office to downtown so parking is a little tough.

Amazing experience!!!Hunter and Maia were super helpful!

Its so relaxing and a great way to beat off the heat!!

Great tubing experience with a relaxing and small group. The creek has great visisbility of the sun, so tanning while relaxing is also an option. Coolers, waterproof speakers, and drinks are all welcome!

Cant say about the service but Im always around that area and its always packed with people...must be doing something right!!!

Awesome awesome

On a hot summer day this place is fantastic!!!!

Awesome time

Not for the faint hearted...challenging at spots...you might fall off your tube...you might hit rocks & get bruises...be prepared to laugh & get wet...bring drinks & snacks (definitely recommend renting the cooler tube)...apply lots of sunscreen & wear a hat...wear old sneakers down the river...dont bring along anything on the river that you dont want to lose forever...this is an at your own risk adventure...be responsible & bring along a garbage bag for trash...I will definitely do this trip again...I highly recommend this fun, family and friend oriented adventure...staff is superb

Had a blast. Staff was most helpful

What a fun time. The river was high so I got the full tour. There are small patches of choppy water throughout which keep things interesting. You definitely will get wet on this ride. Ask for the purple tube its worth the extra 5 bucks.

This is the PERFECT summer activity!

Great for hot days, highly recommend it.

Had a wonderful girls weekend at Coal River Tubing. When we first got there we felt uncomfortable because the guy checking us in didnt explain anything and was very rude. Thank god for the older gentleman who made up for everything. We had so much fun on the water. Will defiantly be back.

Wasnt super impressed ... pretty rough location / set up and low water .. very dirty and you park in a very sketchy place and walk back in a salvage yard/ scrap area. Not really worth the money, better to take your own tubes and do your own thing I would think. The staff was kind of not very friendly or helpful either, not horrible though

Great time! Friendly staff!

Best tubing trip I have ever been on and I have floated many rivers before. Hands down the best people and best company there is.

Cool place. Its 15$ for a tube and a shuttle, 10$ if use Groupon. Something fun and different to do. Theyll shuttle your kayaks too.

You will get wet! Bring towels and bring shoes that can get wet (sandals, flip flops, etc) because the paths to and from the river are gavel and barefoot is not recommended! The workers offer you a string to tie your shoes to your tube so you don’t lose them.There’s a quick bus ride from the parking lot to where they pass out tubes and you start your journey down the river. The trip on the river is really fun but you have to watch out for big old rocks as many reach the surface or are just below it.At the end of the ride they have a rope tied across the river to direct you to the right side of the shore. From there you walk up a little hill and across about 500ft of gravel back to the parking lot.Also note that you have to change in your car because they have no bathroom!Overall its a fun experience and I would definitely do it again now that I know how to prepare!

Great summer fun!!! My family had a blast! What a great local small business!!

Great summer time fun, good for the whole family

We had a blast! The float was relaxing at points and bumpy and exciting at others! I only give it 4 stars because we had an issue with the Groupon. We bought a Groupon for 4 people. 3 of us were going on tubes and the other person brought their own kayak. So all we needed was for them to transport the kayak on the bus(which typically cost $10 for them to transport a personal kayak). Seeing as how I bought a Groupon for 4 people, youd think it would cover the kayak transport but they made us pay the $10 extra anyway AFTER the float trip. Either way, we had a blast and would do it again, just a little salty they made us pay extra.Also, a little more direction at the end would have been nice. There was one kid there but he was really quiet and didnt tell us what we needed to do...we had to keep asking him what to do. Friendly staff though!

Great way to spend a summer afternoon with my family

We had a great time. Ages 5, 7, 36, 37. The trip was shorter because of the low water and we could have ridden as many times as we wanted because of this. The people were great. The only bad part of the trip was the takeout back at Coal Tubin bridge. The takeout was messy with trash and mud. There was also a pretty rotten smell possibly from the trash, but smelled a bit like the area had been used as a bathroom. It didnt ruin the trip but it was not a pleasant ending.

We drive 2 hours to have a family day tubing... big mistake! !!!!! They have no rest rooms, no area to change your way clothes ( unless you go to sheets across the street ) the steps down towards the river are a little rough if you are carring 2 tubs ( I have an 8 yr old ) my son enjoy the ride but at the end you come to a dandy area and you have to climb a dirt till with your tubs, my family help the older ladies because they were struggling. Once we climb the small hill there was no sign or arrow that states where to go. Since we drive 2 hr I wanted to changed and had to use my car doors and pretty much moon everyone as I got dressed. If I was local I might of enjoyed it but again I drove 2 hrs to do a family day and it was not worth it. I do not suggest older people doing this unless your in really good health.

Great time...

We did rafting during the Stonycreek Rendezvous at Greenhouse park. The staff and ownership at Coal Tubin were great people. Very helpful and they made for a great rafting experience. Well worth the drive from Pittsburgh!

Make sure you get good directions. We enjoyed our tubing ride despite the day being a little cool and the river being a little low. But they told us to go under three bridges and remember to keep left when we got out. It turned out you were supposed to go a ways past the third bridge to where theres a rope in the river and then get out on the right before veering on the left hand path. We spent 30 minutes trying to figure out what to do before another tuber who had done it before came along. Not a great ending to an otherwise fun trip. Also, highly recommend tying tubes together if youre going with a group.

I have gone to Coal Tubin numerous times. I have gone on the whitewater rafting trips and the float down the river on tubes. Every time I have gone I have had a blast. When you arrive, the staff seems genuinely excited to see you. They want you to have a good time. Whether you are tubing or whitewater rafting, they take you to a drop off point up river, so you can float back down to their facility. During that time, they explain a little about what to expect. I must say they are also quite entertaining. At times they have had me laughing so hard I thought about asking to ride around with them for the rest of the day. It was through Coal Tubin that I had my first experience whitewater rafting. I really didn’t know what to expect, and I can understand completely how someone could be slightly nervous about this activity. However, the guides are so knowledgeable about the river. They taught us the skills we needed to navigate the river in the very beginning, and I felt completely confident. Due to their knowledge and experience on the river, I believe anyone can participate in this activity. I strongly urge you to go to them if it is your first time, because I learned a lot, had a great time, and felt very comfortable and safe. In addition to their expertise regarding the river, they know a lot about the history, vegetation and wildlife you see as you are doing your float. It was very interesting to hear about those things. The times I went whitewater rafting we were in the boat with some other people we didn’t know. Coal Tubin brought the group together so easily it was almost as if we were all friends. The float on the tubes down the river has always been a great time also. It is relaxing, and l love the fact that they supply you with cord to tie everyone’s tubes together. This allows your group to remain a group and enjoy the day with each other. I strongly suggest anyone who has the opportunity to give Coal Tubin a try. You won’t be disappointed, and I guarantee you will be back!!

Really fun tubing with plenty of places to stop for food or swimming along the route. Staff is nice and you have a ton of tube options for all your needs.

Kayaking the rapids on the Stoneycreek was so much fun!

Very nice adventure! Nice people and beautiful scenery!

Way too expensive 15$ per person. when i was there with my family we needed ropes to attach our tubes together, but they didnt have anymore so they gave us bungee cords. the bungee cords fell off a ton. i fell out of the tube and the current pushed me so the rocks at the bottom would my legs. Now i have bruises all over my leg.Good for when you want to get hurt.WORST EXPERIENCE

Fun in the sun. This is an amazing easy to spend a summer day!

Very cheap. Very fun. Worth the drive

Well worth the drive from Pittsburgh! Gone several time and it is always a blast!!

Loved it. Had a great time!

Always a great, relaxing, disconnected time.

Fun

Fun

Love this place

Way fun

Awesome Experience

Could be a bit cleaner.

Good day on the river

Not a good place to go if you can not walk well. You have to climb up the side of a hill to get out.

Awesome time
