CLASS V 1 miles
The 40' Waterfall to confluence with Slate River stretch of Daisy Creek is 1 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class V section of whitewater. The scenic beauty of Gunnison County and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This stretch is very short so better bring some good walking shoes. For all you camping people there are campgrounds
nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of places for that. The average Colorado whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that
quite a few of the sections here are not easy. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near.
