The River
"On & Around
Colorado's Upper Arkansas River"
 The
Arkansas River is the most popular rafting river in America!
From its headwaters at the historic mining area around Leadville,
Colorado; through scenic mountain towns like Buena Vista and
Salida, Colorado; to the breathtaking Royal Gorge and beyond...
Colorado's Arkansas River has some of the nation's most exciting
whitewater and amazing mountain views. From
highly technical Class IV & V rapids (the Numbers near
Granite & Buena Vista, Colorado and The Royal Gorge near
Canon City), to relaxing & scenic calm-water float trips,
the Arkansas has it all.
The mountain towns and wilderness areas that lie in and surround
the Arkansas River valley are full of excellent recreation
& lodging opportunities. Besides rafting, kayaking
and canoeing, take advantage of the area's fishing, hiking,
mountain biking, mountain climbing, ghost towns and historic
areas. Enjoy an elegant bed and breakfast or rustic cabin
rental; rough it by doing a little camping or back packing.
