Raft Colorado’s Arkansas River through September
A deep snowpack this past winter, followed by record moisture in the high country this summer, has resulted in higher than normal flows on Colorado’s Arkansas River all season. This trend is expected to continue through Labor Day, so grab some friends and plan your next Colorado whitewater rafting trip with River Runners.
Now is a great time to book your whitewater rafting trip. The water levels are prime and the crowds are much smaller.
Looking for the best whitewater?
Raft the Royal Gorge!
The Royal Gorge is runnable year around, but in most years, you will have low water conditions in late-summer. Not this season! Experience some quality whitewater rafting in the Royal Gorge right now.
Want a family-friendly rafting trip?
Raft the Family Float, Browns Canyon, or Bighorn Sheep Canyon
The Family Float is popular with young families and timid rafters, but most groups will enjoy rafting Browns Canyon near Buena Vista or Bighorn Sheep Canyon – just one hour from Colorado Springs.
