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!

We had 3 kiddos 10, 8 and 5 with us so we needed a somewhat calm ride. Our guide was amazing and gave us just enough splashing! Never concerned about our safety and had a great time.

This was our families first time to raft and Kasen did an excellent job as our guide! She shared lots info about different things we passed along the river, kept the trip interesting! Highly recommend Arkansas River Tours for families with younger kids! Our boys are 8 & 9 and they had a blast! The trip was the perfect amount of time for us too, not too long and not too short.

We took the quarter day trip and had a great time. We booked last minute the day before just before the end of our holiday in Colorado. The guides were fun and friendly and the trip was fab.
