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.

My boyfriend and I had a blast rafting with our guide, Matt! He was nice and funny, and told us some interesting facts about the area throughout. The full body wet suit and splash jacket (like a rain jacket) were perfect and kept us warm from the cold water! We also rented booties to keep our shoes dry and our feet warm. We bought the pictures afterward, which turned out great!! The whole staff was friendly and helpful. I’d highly recommend Downstream Adventures for rafting, and I can’t wait to come back during our next trip!

We had a fun trip on the beginners float. Looking forward to the intermediate trip. Mikey Mike was very knowledgeable on the area. Glad they had wet suits.

The staff was very knowledgable about the area, the river, and rafting safety. It was the Beginner raft with one adult and two kids (12 & 13). Class 2 & 3 rapids so I was expecting a few splashes, but was pleasantly surprised. We had a LOT of splashes and tons of fun. Russell (guide) and Jonathan (owner who dropped in and helped take out) were so professional and talkative about things to do in the area. My kids had a blast and were so happy with this raft experience. We have gone before on 2-3's, but this trip was way better and more exciting for everyone. Highly recommend the staff, the business, and the Beginner rafting experience.
