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 was our first time WWR and we're so glad we went with Downstream Adventures. It was toward the end of the season and we were so thankful to still be able to do this. Well, it was my fault that we confused the date we booked the adventure. So we missed our reserved day/time. Ryan was so accommodating to try to reschedule us and even credited me one of the 2 that we were not able to use. Then the morning of our adventure he called and said the water dropped much more than expected the last couple days, but that he could do a beginner run instead of the intermediate we had signed up for. I'm glad we did because we still had rapids that gave us thrills. At the end Ryan gave us all the photos for the price of 4 because we didn't get get the run we signed up for. When we arrived he was so apologetic for not being able to do the run we signed up for. We still had the time of our lives. Kurt, our guide, was very knowledgeable and experienced at WWR. We felt prepared for what could happen and what we needed to do. I would highly recommend booking your next WWR at whatever level you want! I know when we go back to Denver, we will book with them again for another exciting adventure!!

We came at the end of August so we knew that the rapids would be at the lowest levels (often by that point in August, they have closed up for the season). Even so, it was a great trip. Russel was fantastic and fun. We chose beginner because of our 9 year old daughter and that was a little boring for my teenagers but that was the nature of the creek at that time. I had read the reviews of others who claimed that they chose Downstream because it is smaller and you feel more connected. I couldn't agree more. As we were getting on the creek, I could see another company getting ready to begin in about 30 minutes. They had a group of 60. I would not have liked that. I liked that Downstream ensures that you feel special and not one of a massive group. Would definitely choose them again.
