Chukar to North Fork section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 13.5 miles
The scenic beauty of Montrose/Delta County and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. 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. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Colorado are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. There are a few other
sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. The Chukar to North Fork section of Gunnison River is 13.5 miles long and has been rated as a class III section by American
Whitewater. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
