Poudre Park Picnic Gound to below Pine View Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV 2 miles
The scenic beauty of Colorado and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. The Poudre Park Picnic Gound to below Pine View Falls stretch of Cache La Poudre River in Larimer County is 2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV section. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This is a somewhat short section so no need to bring snacks. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
The starting location is a short drive from Fort Collins-Loveland, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are not
easy. The beautiful Front Range scenery is an added bonus. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. This river system is full of great paddling sections, the Poudre Park Picnic Gound to below Pine View Falls section is just one of them.
Briefly about the general area: And if that's not sufficient there's a load more fun stuff to do in the Front Range.
