Parker Tube Float
Buckskin Mountain State Park
Saturday, June 14, 2025
The 47th Annual Parker Tube Float will be held on Saturday June 14, 2025.
Online Pre-Registration will open March 3, 2025 and will close at midnight June 8, 2025. You will still be able to register the morning of the event at La Paz County Park.
You can register online or by visiting the Parker Regional Chamber of Commerce & Tourism office or at one of the off site locations (Pirate's Den, Castle Rock, River Lodge, Branson's Resort, Echo Lodge, The Bar, Roadrunner, Sand Bar, Sundance, and Spanky's RV & Marine or Tavern 95 in Lake Havasu City).
The 47th Annual Parker Tube Float registration will be at La Paz County Park from 8 a.m. to noon, with the float ending at 5 p.m. (NO-WAKE ZONE EXPIRES). Park at La Paz County Park ($10.00 parking fee) and we will shuttle you to Buckskin Mountain State Park where the starting line is. The last bus will leave La Paz County Park shortly after registration closes at 12 p.m. Buckskin Mountain State Park will have air compressors available to inflate your floats and get ready to launch. Ice will also be available for purchase at both La Paz County Park and Buckskin Mountain State Park. Once you are ready, you will enter the beautiful Colorado River where you will enjoy beautiful scenery and pass a few bars and restaurants as you float down to the finish line at La Paz County Park/Pirate's Den Resort, located where you originally parked.
We strongly suggest you pre-register when registration opens March 3, 2025. Once pre-registration closes, regular registration is open for an additional investment per person if you register the morning of the event. An additional fee of $30.00 is required if you will be using a motorized vessel to assist your floating group.
Changes for the Parker Tube Float. We will not allow boats with any IO, Outboard or prop. Only allowed vessels will be jet boats or personal water crafts ONLY!
Water crafts are not allowed to launch at the registration area or starting line neither at La Paz County Park, Pirate's Den, or Buckskin Mountain State Park. You will either need to launch at the Public Launch Ramp or a park if they offer a launch ramp. You will need to drive your vessel up river to the starting line at Buckskin Mountain State Park.
