With a crystal clear river running straight through Townsend, you won’t want to miss the water recreation opportunities available for visitors to enjoy. Whether you prefer taking a dip in one of the local swimming holes or spending a lazy afternoon tubing down the river sounds more like your cup of tea, Townsend has something to offer everyone. The “Y”, a popular swimming hole, offers fun for all ages with shallow rapids for the kids and a deeper area for older kids and adults to enjoy. Some might prefer a little more of a challenge, so canoeing and kayaking might be perfect.
