What better way to experience the Appalachian Mountains than a relaxing kayak or tubing trip down a river? Shelly Belle’s, part of Rustic River Resort, offers two- and four-mile floats along the stunning Powell river. The water is easy to navigate and fun for all ages.
After your trip down the river, you’ll land at Rustic River Resort and a great casual restaurant to enjoy a fun meal and a cool beverage. The menu includes a spectrum of appetizers and small plates, pizza, sandwiches, steaks, seafood, and more. Live entertainment is also featured periodically.
Kayaking and tubing are available daily during season (April-October), and private trips can be arranged at other times. (Sorry—no pets.) The restaurant is open Wednesday-Sunday from noon until evening. For reservations and more information, visit https://rustic-river-resort.com.
Kayak and Tubing opens Friday May 10. Open daily at 9. Last shuttle goes up at 4:30.
We take you up the river and you float back to the property and car.
We also have a full service restaurant open Wednesday – Sunday from 12-8/9.
The river is a blast. It is calm and great peaceful nature float. We hope to see you out this summer.
