Middle Clear Creek is one of the greatest beginner rafting runs in the nation. With numerous rapids and historical significance, it is hard to deny the value. Although Clear Creek holds more rapids than most any other run in the US, the rapids of our Middle section are straight-forward and perfect for families with children or anyone else looking for something a bit easier. Rafters will also catch glimpses of Colorado's rich gold mining history and maybe even a miner or two as they splash down this unique stretch of whitewater.

Q&A

Q: Can kids go on this rafting adventure? What's the age limit?

A: Absolutely! This is a beginner-friendly rafting experience, and kids as young as 6 years old can participate. Just make sure they meet the minimum weight limit, which is typically around 50 lbs for safety. The guides are great with families, so it should be a fun day for everyone!

Q: What should I wear for this rafting trip? Is it cold?

A: You'll want to wear something that you don't mind getting wet! The provider includes wetsuits and splash jackets, which help keep you warm, but it can still be nippy depending on the weather. I'd recommend a swimsuit underneath, and maybe some water shoes or sandals. Don't forget sunscreen!

Q: What if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule our trip?

A: They'll monitor the weather closely for safety, and if conditions are unsafe, they'll usually contact you to reschedule. Most places will allow you to pick another date if your trip gets canceled due to weather. Just be sure to check their policy when you book!
