Tubing at Skinner’s Falls Rocky Beach

Once we finally went to Skinner’s Falls rocky beach in Narrowsburg we knew we had to take family and friend here as well. It’s the perfect spot for basking in the sun, tubing on the rapids or swimming. This time we took a Lakota camp staff member, Luisa, with us. It was supposed to be a rainy day but it ended up being gorgeous. There was only one quick rain shower while we were tubing the third time down the Delaware River.
