Eagle
county,
Forest Service Visitor Center to Riverbend bus stop section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV 1 miles
The nature scenery of Eagle County and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This is a very short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. This is the only paddling section along Eagle River. There are some good hotels near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. 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. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find
the rivers here more demanding, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving.
Briefly about the general area: Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Park Range. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Eagle River; Rock Creek Trail is a great local trail. High temperatures at Eagle River through the months of summer are in the 80's with nighttime lows in the 40's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 30's, and night lows in the 0's for Eagle River. There's pleasant hiking along the Nottingham Ridge Trail, and hey,
Gotta ski right? Beaver Creek is a nice place to do that. Eagle River is usually a relatively dried out site; July is when you get the most rain here, and the driest of the months is February.
