Plan Your Arkansas River Rafting Adventure!

Arkansas River rafting is a classic example of a quintessential Colorado rafting experience. From its headwaters, the Arkansas River delivers more than 100 miles of whitewater, making it the best river for rafting in the American West. The peak season to run the Arkansas River is mid-May through early September (about Memorial Day to Labor Day). 

Beginning high in the Rockies, Arkansas River rafting begins as melting snow high in the mountains near Leadville, Colorado, a city rich in mining history and famous for its 10,200-foot elevation living. The Ark (as locals like to call it) gains momentum as it flows past some of the biggest mountains in Colorado, benefiting from their abundant snowmelt in the spring and throughout the summer as temperatures increase. The river’s appeal lies in its wide variety of Arkansas River rafting trips and easy accessibility from the beautiful and historic town of Buena Vista, Colorado.

All Arkansas Rafting Trips in Colorado come with incredible views of the Colorado Mountains. You’ll grow to love whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River. This is especially true when you choose our whitewater rafting Arkansas River guiding service. Let us help you plan your next rafting adventure, and we’re sure you’ll want more!
