Henri Breault, President/C.E.O. of Salt River Tubing, says “During the past twenty-five years, responsible tubers have greatly contributed to helping to protect and conserve the Lower Salt River’s natural resources. Their public lands stewardship of ‘stashing and bagging’ their picnic litter while floating helps to ensure that this recreational paradise will be enjoyed by future generations. We invite everyone to experience a cool and refreshing floating adventure in Tonto National Forest’s ‘mini-Grand Canyon’ on the Lower Salt River! The sixty-eight (68) degree mountain stream waters are perfect for “chilling and thrilling” while enjoying fun in the sun! Catch of glimpse of the diverse wildlife including blue herons and the Salt River wild horses.

In the past twenty-five years, the nationally acclaimed Take Pride in America program has reduced the amount of picnic trash on the Lower Salt River by over ninety percent! Responsible floating tubers have ‘stashed and bagged’ their picnic trash in the free Tommy Tuber litter bags distributed by Salt River Tubing and placed them in designated receptacles upon exiting the Salt River. To date, eight hundred and fifty-two tons (852) of picnic trash has been ‘stashed and bagged’ during the Memorial Day and Labor Day holiday weekends!

Take Pride in America is a national partnership that aims to inspire a new generation of volunteers to put their love of country to work to improve our national parks, wildlife refuges, public lands, cultural and historic sites, playgrounds, and other recreation areas. Salt River Tubing has received a record four National Take Pride in America awards for the company’s conservation efforts in Tonto National Forest (1991, 2003, 2006 and 2010).
