Colorado whitewater, Eagle River

Eagle county, Forest Service Visitor Center to Riverbend bus stop section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV     1 miles
  The beautiful scenery of Eagle County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. If you're coming from Edwards it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location. This section of Eagle River is 1 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV section. There are nice comfortable hotels here, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This stretch is very short so you'd
    better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling places. The Park Range scenery is wonderful.
And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Colorado is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Forest Service Visitor Center to Riverbend bus stop section is just one of many.

Briefly about
 
the general area:
Eagle Valley is right next door to Eagle River and is a great spot, and the best way to spend a winter day is on the slopes of nearby Beaver Creek.
