    in this river system that can be paddled as well. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great
reasons to come. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. There's camping available near Boulder Creek. Whitewater paddling here in the Front Range is a great experience. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Colorado is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that a  
lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners.
