Colorado whitewater - Woods Creek, Park Range, Clear Creek County

Clear Creek county, Reservoir to Confluence with West Fork Clear Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     0.5 miles
  The average Colorado whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This stretch of Woods Creek in Colorado is 0.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V section. The wonderful Clear Creek County scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The put-in location is a short drive from Silverthorne, as you can see on the road map
    further down. This stretch is very short so no need to bring snacks. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The wild scenery of the Park Range is great. Woods Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling
sections, the Reservoir to Confluence with West Fork Clear Creek section is the only one. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near.
