The Apple River is located in Somerset, Wisconsin. The river is a well known hot spot for tubing and camping. The cost of renting a tube is $7.00, and it costs $15.00 to camp out for the weekend. You can tube down the river for up to six hours, depending on which camp ground you start at. When floating down the river you can tube by yourself or tie a whole bunch of tubes together and float together.
Dan Jorgenson and James Froemming visited the river twice during the summer. They camped at the “Hide-away” campground, which is one of many campgrounds that are around the river. Dan and James said that they had a great time, except for when James got poison ivy. While tubing down the rapids Dan’s buddy, Grougies, fell off his tube and got beat up by the rapids. Despite these two incidents, James and Dan partied and had a great time.
