River Rafting in Colorado
Experience the best whitewater rafting Colorado has had in years – right now!

Raft Colorado’s Arkansas River

High water is in June

High water conditions will be found on the Arkansas River for several weeks! If you are looking for exciting whitewater – now is the best time to go whitewater rafting in Colorado. Raft the Royal Gorge and the Numbers for the most significant challenge, or book a rafting tour through Browns Canyon, Bighorn Sheep Canyon, or the Family Float for a beginner to intermediate adventure. 

Snowpack holding strong

According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the snowpack in Colorado’s Upper Arkansas River Basin is 143 percent of the average (as of June 2, 2014). This means we should have high water conditions through June and medium flows through Labor Day. This will be one of the best Colorado rafting seasons ever – join the fun.
