Browns Canyon 1/2 Day

Raft the nation’s favorite stretch of river, as you paddle the Arkansas River 10 miles through Browns Canyon National Monument. Together with the rest of the crew in your boat, you will work to negotiate class III rapids. This trip is perfect family-friendly fun, and your group of all ages will have a blast conquering this intermediate whitewater.

Not only will your Brown’s Canyon half day adventure provide excitement out on the water, but beautiful scenery around every turn will keep you on the edge of your seat. You’ll pass through Browns Canyon National Monument, where the granite walls in contrast to the dazzling blue of the Arkansas will take your breath away. Remember to keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, as big horn sheep, deer, elk, eagles, and other wildlife can sometimes be spotted on the banks or in the sky above.
