The Great Outdoors is a popular tubing and rafting business located along the Deerfield River on the Mohawk Trail in Charlemont, Massachusetts. They offer a fun and safe way to enjoy a long float down the river, with trips lasting around 2 to 3 hours. The river is clean, with varying rapids and beautiful scenery, making it a great escape from the summer heat. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing safety instructions and a smooth experience. Tubes are well-equipped with padded headrests and cup holders for added comfort. The business operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations, welcoming all who come for a day of fun in the sun. Visitors often enjoy the peaceful floats, sometimes having the river mostly to themselves, and appreciate the long ride that surpasses other rental spots. Children over 10 are welcome, making it suitable for families looking for an outdoor adventure.
Had a great time today tubing. TGO was extremely helpful when one of our party's tube popped half way through and I was able to call them and they ran a new tube over to complete the journey. Thank you!

Great spot to park 1 car and carpool with your other car up the river, or grab a shuttle up the river. I recommend buying your tubes ahead of time. You can also buy or rent them from the store last minute but the prices are higher than Amazon and such.

Great spot and friendly people running it. Shuttle service was really convenient and everything was easy. Maybe a little overpriced for tubes and other side stuff, but the service and convenience with it all made this seem worth it to me. I would definitely recommend and will use them again!
