Colorado whitewater - Colorado River, unknown County

Cameo Dam section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III     0.1 miles
  This section of Colorado River is 0.1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III section. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Colorado you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. No shortage of good hotels, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is the only paddling section along Colorado River. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. The
    wonderful unknown County scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. This is a very short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch.
