Courtenay's Puntledge River has been ideal for tubing this summer
By Keith and Heather Nicol

With good consistent
water levels and some warm temperatures from mid July to mid August, the
Puntledge River in Courtenay, B.C. has been very active with tubers this summer. It is very
convenient since the river flows through Courtenay and the put in is just on
the outskirts of town. There are several places to pull out and previous blogs
describe these (http://keithnicol.blogspot.ca/2017/07/the-puntledge-river-is-ideal-for-tubing.html).It works best if you can go with another
couple or group since then you can leave a car at either end but you can also
leave a bike at the take out and cycle back to your car if you have one car. Tubing
is alot of fun and a great way to spend time with friends or family. Here are
several pictures from the river this summer.
