Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Colorado is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The starting location is a short drive from Edwards, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The beautiful scenery of Pitkin County and the water flowing gracefully down Roaring Fork beats anything. The Upper Woody Creek Bridge to Lower Woody Creek Bridge section of Roaring Fork in Pitkin County is 3.8 miles long and has been rated as a class III section by American Whitewater. This
is a bit of a short stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. There are so many stretches to paddle in this river system, the Upper Woody Creek Bridge to Lower Woody Creek Bridge stretch is just one of many. A good workout and a chance to spend
some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling spots. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
