If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Colorado you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. This stretch of Yampa River in Routt/Moffat County is 1 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III section of whitewater. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. The Yampa river park to 12th street stretch is the only paddling stretch along Yampa River. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this
general area you won't find many other paddling spots. The natural beauty of Routt/Moffat County and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but if you don’t have
reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is an extremely short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes.
