The average Colorado whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The natural beauty of Colorado and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. On this section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Redbridge to Blue Mesa
Reservoir section is one of them. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general
