Colorado whitewater - Grizzly Creek, Garfield County
Garfield
county,
1 mile up trail to Grizzly Creek Rest Area section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V 1 miles
The average Colorado whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The nature scenery of Colorado and the cool fresh water beats anything. Grizzly Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the 1 mile up trail to Grizzly Creek Rest Area section is the only one. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling rivers. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance
because these hotels fill up quick. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. This stretch of Grizzly Creek is 1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V section. You can pitch a tent or park
your RV at a nearby campground. This is an extremely short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.
