Frisco, Colorado White Water Rafting

At roughly 9,100 feet above sea level, Frisco sits in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. The Tenmile Range, perfect for hiking and biking adventures, stretches from downtown Frisco to Breckenridge. In addition to exploring historic Main Street and taking a side trip to the Lake Dillon Marina, the town is an excellent starting point for Colorado white water rafting trips.

Raft Colorado from Frisco!

Frisco sits in the central part of the state, which means nearby rafting options are plentiful. Colorado white water rafting opportunities span four rivers – the Colorado, Arkansas and Blue – as well as Clear Creek. The most convenient is a short whitewater outing on the Blue River, less than 10 minutes away! Within an hour of town, you’ll find even more: beginner float trips, intermediate whitewater adventures and advanced rafting thrills to suit any taste or ability.

Blue River – The most convenient Frisco rafting adventure, these trips meet at our Breckenridge basecamp, just 10 minutes south of Frisco. After a short drive, we’ll launch to a scenic backdrop of the stunning Gore Range. A half-day beginner whitewater adventure, this trip is perfect for families and groups with varying abilities.

Colorado River – Just as convenient, this white water rafting trip also meets at our Breckenridge basecamp. We’ll take a scenic drive to a remote canyon put-in, then settle in for a stunning river trip. Mostly a float, this trip follows the Colorado River past natural hot springs, dinosaur tracks, tall canyon walls and more.

Clear Creek – The creek flows through historic Idaho Springs, just 45 minutes east of Frisco. Colorado white water rafting options include beginner, intermediate and advanced whitewater adventures, as well as 1/3-day, 1/2-day and full-day rafting trips. Combine your whitewater with a bike ride down Vail Pass, a historic mine tour or a relaxing soak in the hot springs. Call for combination trip pricing and details. 1-800-997-3448

Arkansas River – One of the most popular rivers in the world, the Arkansas River makes for a great Colorado rafting adventure. An hour and a half of scenic driving leads from Frisco to our Buena Vista basecamp. The rapids on the Arkansas range from mellow to mind-blowing; whether you’re a beginning rafter, an experienced river rat or an advanced whitewater seeker, the Arkansas delivers major whitewater fun.
