Colorado whitewater, Cache La Poudre River

Larimer county, below Pineview Falls to Mile Marker 114.7 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     2 miles
  The natural beauty of Colorado and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The below Pineview Falls to Mile Marker 114.7 stretch of Cache La Poudre River in Larimer County is 2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. This river system is full of great paddling sections, the below Pineview Falls to Mile Marker 114.7 section is just one of them. If you've been
    whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Colorado you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting
or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. 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. The beautiful Front Range scenery is an added bonus. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. This stretch is  
short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The starting location is a short drive from Fort Collins-Loveland, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
