The Forest Service Visitor Center to Riverbend bus stop stretch of Eagle River in Colorado is 1 miles long and     is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV section. The beautiful Park Range scenery is an added bonus. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came.
