Beginner Whitewater Rafting on Historic Clear Creek Park

Beginner Whitewater Rafting on Historic Clear Creek Park

Overview

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.

This is a super fun, safe experience no matter what because the Downstream company is clearly top notch, but we were lucky enough to get Chaz as our guide, and he elevated the whole experience to the next level--partly because he's an excellent human, and partly because he took us "surfing" on one of the rapids, which is definitely not for the faint of heart and requires you to get a little technical, but it was the most memorable moment we've had rafting in a while. Seems like the company is selective about the guides they hire, so hopefully the other guides are Chaz-level too.

We chose Downstream Adventure as our choice for rafting and we were not let down. They were great teachers and our guide was very patient and knowledgeable (Tippy). We will surely choose them again

Great experience with a good outfitter, would recommend Chaz as a guide, he was very personable and made it a fun experience. Lyndsay at the front desk was very helpful and personable. The staff as a whole made it a fun day. We are definitely going back with the rest of the family to do it again for a full day!
