Closed until June 2023. The rafting season is short! We hit the river each year from mid-June to mid-August.
There’s nothing quite like a great day on the Arkansas River. The calming sounds of the running water, the soaring views of the snow-capped Rockies, that initial rush you feel the first time the cool water hits your body. It’s soul-cleansing, really. Please note that we are NOT a high-production rafting company. We truly guide you downriver to help you fully immerse yourselves in the experience and soak it all in. Our guides are local and deeply connected to the river, its turns, rocks, rapids, and changing conditions. They can’t wait to share this stretch of water with you and teach you the rich history of the area.
