Aspen’s Roaring Fork River Offers Rafting and Kayaking Enthusiasts A Challenge

WHITEWATER RAFTING

One of Aspen’s most popular summer vacation activities, whitewater rafting on the Roaring Fork, Arkansas and Colorado rivers can range from gentle Class I water to powerful and intense Class IV rapids.

WHITEWATER SLEDGING

A little like whitewater rafting and a lot like boogie boarding, whitewater sledging is a New Zealand sport that uses a sturdy plastic board specifically designed to help you navigate the rapids.

KAYAKING

The Roaring Fork River offers everything from chilling thrills through the action-packed Slaughterhouse rapids to easy floats through gently moving water in the Northstar Nature Preserve in Aspen.
