This is by far the best Family Float trip on the Arkansas River! This convenient trip offers the best whitewater for little kids with spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery. Our 1/4 day is a 5 mile trip with easy Class II-III rapids. This is the perfect introductory trip for families with little kids or timid beginners. You will float from Coaldale to our riverside base in Cotopaxi while enjoying scenic views of the Sangre de Cristo Range. This itinerary is the best trip for rafting in Colorado on the Arkansas River for families with young kids. We are the only outfitter offering this trip since we conveniently finish this trip right at our riverside base!

Q: What should we wear for this float trip?

A: Wear comfortable clothes that can get wet! Quick-dry shorts and a t-shirt work great. If you tend to get cold, layering up with a splash jacket is helpful.

Considering the Mild Scenic Family Float - is it really as good as it sounds?

I’m thinking about booking the Mild Scenic Family Float on the Arkansas River for my kids' birthday. They’re 6 and 8, and I heard it’s perfect for younger kids. The scenery looks beautiful from the pictures! Can anyone share their experiences? Was it fun? How was the safety vibe? I want them to have a great time!

Looking for gift ideas for family - is this float a good choice?

I want to gift an experience to my sister’s family for the holidays, and I came across this Mild Scenic Family Float. They’ve got young kids, so it sounds perfect! Any thoughts on the duration? How long are you actually on the water? I want it to be fun, but not overwhelming.
