Mild Cottonwood Family Float

Overview

This is by far the best Family Float trip on the Arkansas River! This convenient trip offers the best whitewater for little kids with spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery. Our 1/4 day is a 5 mile trip with easy Class II-III rapids. This is the perfect introductory trip for families with little kids or timid beginners. You will float from Coaldale to our riverside base in Cotopaxi while enjoying scenic views of the Sangre de Cristo Range. This itinerary is the best trip for rafting in Colorado on the Arkansas River for families with young kids. We are the only outfitter offering this trip since we conveniently finish this trip right at our riverside base!

This was a first experience for my kids and they absolutely love it. They are already asking to go again with bigger rapids. Our tour guy was great too!

The whole family had a great time. Our guide Dan was knowledgeable and made the experience enjoyable and we never felt that we were in danger. The kids wanted to keep going!

The tour guide Megan was extremely rude and ignored me through out the excursion- it ruined the experience for me

Hi Sebeena, I am sorry to hear your experience was less than desired. We will reach out to your guide and get her feedback to make a plan to improve the customer experience. It sounded like the other guests had a great time and we are bummed that you did not. Thank you for the feedback.
