If you're coming from Boulder it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. The wonderful Boulder County scenery and the playfulness of the water beats anything. This is a somewhat short section so no need to bring snacks. The beautiful Front Range scenery is an added bonus. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This is not the only paddling stretch in |
this river system, there are others too. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. The Switzerland Park to Boulder Falls section of Boulder Creek - North in Boulder County is
| 2.25 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class V+ section of whitewater. The average Colorado whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing | |
|
to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
Briefly about the general area: Eldorado State Park is a good spot to go if you're at Boulder Creek
- North, and Boulder Creek - North is not far at all from Jamestown. If you want a nice time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Front Range. Really great skiing awaits you at Eldora, and if you're here you can
take a hike along the Bolling Gulch Trail. At this river you will never have a bad time. If you're here, you might as well check out Upham Gulch, and if the weather is great, you can go for a hike along the Ceran Vrain Trail.
