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!

Love this company! This is our second time going whitewater rafting with them and they are great! We have always felt like we were in great hands and completely safe. They are extremely knowledgeable and well trained! We have kids ages 7, 14 and 16 and they all had a blast. I definitely recommend them over some of the more popular crowded companies.
