The Eagle Nest to Cimarron stretch of Cimarron River in New Mexico is 25 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV section. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. There are no other sections to paddle along Cimarron River than the Eagle Nest to Cimarron section. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while will |
have you coming back for more. The scenic beauty of Colfax County and the cool fresh water have people coming here. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
