Clear Creek Intermediate Whitewater Rafting near Denver

Clear Creek Intermediate Whitewater Rafting near Denver

Overview

Clear Creek Canyon is unique in the quantity and quality of its rapids. It has more rapids than nearly any other commercially run stretch of whitewater in the nation. It is also free-flowing, meaning that the water levels change throughout the season, offering a variety of experiences. In addition to world-class rafting, it is also the home of the 1859 Gold Rush. Gold is still found in the creek by intrepid miners using pans and dredges. Guests will pass many sites of historical significance related to the Gold Rush while rafting on Clear Creek. Clear Creek is also conveniently located nearby Denver and other surrounding resorts, making it the perfect day-trip excursion.

My husband and I gave his younger brothers (13 and 15) their choice of several Colorado-style adventures to chose from as their Christmas gift. They're from Pennsylvania, so they don't have access to as many outdoor activities as we do in Colorado. One of the chose rafting while the other chose mountain biking. There are so many rafting companies located near Denver, I was overwhelmed trying to pick one. After a lot of research, I felt like Downstream was the right pick. I especially liked that they were a small company as opposed to the "big guys" who just heard droves of people down the river like sheep. Their online booking system was seamless and I was able to have the boys (and their mom) fill out the waivers online as opposed to carrying paperwork all the way from Pennsylvania. On the day of our trip, all of the staff members were extremely cheerful and helpful. We just brought swimsuits and sport sandals and Downstream outfitted up with the rest. I especially liked the splash coat because it meant I didn't need to apply sunscreen. Our guides name was Mark and he was rad! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and competent. He took the time to learn our names and get to know us a little bit too which wouldn't have happened with some of the bigger companies. We had a great trip! Mark even gave us a recommendation for a short hike to a waterfall as well as a restaurant recommendation for lunch, bot of which were just what we wanted. Look no more and book your next rafting adventure with Downstream!

We had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone. My 7 year old daughter squealed with delight at every splash.

We never thought we would find a good and affordable rafting activity in Colorado. We found Downstream and booked it without thinking. I would totally go back for their costumer service and care for the safety of the customers. Small spot that you wouldn't think is that awesome. Pictures are also cheap to take home and awesome souvenirs. Please go to this place, you will not regret it.
