We used Lost Paddle in 2008 for our Jr/Sr football players summer trip. Fast forward 11 years and we finally got around to going rafting again (wife's first time). We could have chosen any one of the larger companies but didn't hesitate to use Lost Paddle. Maddy was our guide and did a great job! Her confidence in her abilities put us at ease and definitely made the day enjoyable. We are already planning a family excursion and Lost Paddle will be our choice again. Great job building a company that knows what it means to take care of their customers. You can spend your money on a bigger rafting company but the thing you'll leave with is the memory. Lost Paddle understands this and makes sure the memory is a great one. You're not just another customer, you're part of their family. Great job LPR! Rob and Barb Sauer 7/25/2019

Nate was our guide and was awesome to hang out with throughout the day. Rafting was smooth and Nate keeps everyone engaged throughout the whole trip. Will definitely be back and do the whole day Royal Gorge run. Thanks Guys!
