There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the below Pineview Falls to Mile Marker 114.7 section is just one of many. The wonderful Larimer County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. Whitewater
paddling here in the Front Range is a great experience. This is a pretty short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Colorado you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find
lots of paddling places.
