The best time of year to go whitewater rafting is during the summer months when the snow has melted and the runoff brings the water levels up (late May through August). In higher altitudes, there is a longer waiting period for the snow to melt and these late-season run-offs are the source of some of the greatest whitewater trips in the world. Determining when and where to go rafting can seem like a difficult task, but at Breckenridge Whitewater Rafting we can help you find the perfect rafting trip for your desired time of year.
