Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Colorado is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The beautiful San Juan Mountains scenery is an added bonus. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The Downstream from Highway 160 Bridge stretch is the only
paddling stretch along Wolf Creek. This section is very short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The wonderful Colorado scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. Whether you're whitewater rafting or
kayaking this area has a large number of paddling rivers. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more.
