Clear Creek is one of the best whitewater rafting rivers in Colorado, and for great reasons. The canyon offers all levels of whitewater challenge, and easy access. The setting includes scenic flats, mining ruins, wildlife, and, of course, exciting whitewater flowing over rocks. Nearby is Idaho Springs, where the gold rush began. It is the first city founded in Colorado, in 1859. This quaint town is nestled in the foothills of some of Colorado’s best mountains and holds a unique place in the state’s history. As the place where the Colorado Gold Rush started, this little town holds a lot of secrets, including one of the best river rafting areas in the State! Conveniently located about 30 minutes west of Denver, and close to Breckenridge, Silverthorne, Dillon, and Winter Park, Clear Creek has rafting trip options for varying ability and experience levels.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Clear Creek rafting trip?

A: Yes, for the intermediate level rafting, participants usually need to be at least 12 years old. It’s a good idea to check with the provider for any specific requirements they may have, but I’ve seen kids as young as 12 on our trip. Just make sure they’re comfortable in water and can follow instructions.

Q: What should we wear for the Clear Creek rafting trip?

A: You’ll want to wear something quick-drying, like a swimsuit or board shorts. Definitely bring a water-resistant jacket, just in case it gets chilly. It’s also a good idea to wear closed-toe shoes that you don’t mind getting wet. Sunblock is a must too!

Q: How often do they cancel trips due to weather?

A: Cancellations are pretty rare, but they do happen if the weather is severe. Rain usually doesn't affect the trips, it’s mainly lightning or really high water levels. If that happens, they’ll usually give options to reschedule or offer a refund.

Thinking of booking the Clear Creek rafting trip as a gift!

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting the Clear Creek Whitewater Rafting trip for my boyfriend's birthday. He loves outdoor adventures, but he’s never been rafting before. Is the intermediate level too challenging for a newbie? I want him to have fun without being scared. Also, how’s the scenery there? I heard it's beautiful!
