Weller Lake to Difficult Campground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V+ 3.2 miles
The nature scenery of Colorado and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Weller Lake to Difficult Campground section is just one of many. This is a short paddling stretch so no need to bring
snacks. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. The put-in location is a short drive from Edwards, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way
this area has a large number of paddling rivers. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
