Colorado whitewater - Jasper Creek, Front Range, Boulder County

Boulder county, to Boulder Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V+     1 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. This is the only paddling section along Jasper Creek. The campgrounds here at Jasper Creek are pretty good. This is an extremely short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Whitewater paddling
    here in the Front Range is a great experience. The natural beauty of Boulder County and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. The to Boulder Creek section of Jasper Creek in Colorado is 1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V+
section. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came.
