Whitewater Rafting on the Arkansas River in Colorado

Among the nation’s most sought-after whitewater, the Arkansas River in Colorado plunges 5,000 feet in its first 125 miles. Arkansas River Rafting is truly one of Colorado’s greatest mountain adventures.  The thrill of unrelenting rapids, spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains’ highest “fourteeners” (14,000 foot peaks) and local wildlife (bighorn sheep, deer, elk, birdlife and more) make whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River a true Colorado adventure.

Tumbling its way through boulder-strewn canyons, magnificent valleys, and an impossibly deep gorge, we offer multiple guided sections of Arkansas River rafting– from Class II to Class V – which offer stretches of whitewater for boaters of all abilities.

Taking advantage of the abundant fish, wildlife, and plant resources, Ute Indians inhabited the upper basin of the Arkansas River in Colorado upon the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 1700s. An ethic of conservation has preserved much of the upper Arkansas’s stunning natural beauty and resourcefulness. Today, the entire river is a Colorado State Park and the work of institutions both public and private ensures that future generations will have the opportunity to experience the enchantment of this classic western river.

Come see for yourself why rafting on the Arkansas River is our most popular activity.
