Colorado whitewater - Animas River, unknown County

Trimble Lane to 32nd Street Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     10 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The scenic beauty of unknown County and the sparkling
    of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This stretch of Animas River is 10 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-II section of whitewater. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and
pack your camp stove.
