    Paddling here is great but even better, they have SUP Yoga! These are on Saturdays and is only $40…read moreincludes paddle board rental, life jacket, paddle, anchor and yoga class! The area faces the mountains so you're in all the elements of water, sun, wind, rain drops, mountains and all. A totally different and wonderful experience.

    So, if you are looking for a spot that has a lot of trees / greenery / etc. the location we went to…read morewill not be the spot for you (Chatfield Reservoir). That said, if you are a beginning kayaker and just want to get some experience, this is a great place to go. If you are timid around water, not sure if you will like the sport, or someone who just generally likes to try new things, be outdoors, etc. - do it! We were in town from Arizona and the water was pretty choppy (dude said winds were ~10 mph... I think they were closer to 15 mph...) I am not in love with sit on top kayaks and I don't particularly love chop. Moving water? Fine. Rocking back and forth? Ehhhh. We only paddled for about 30-40 minutes because it was so windy. We paddled against the wind to get our bearings, floated/paddled to the other end with the wind, and then worked our arms off paddling back. My husband doesn't really enjoy that type of work out (ha!) so he got out and pulled his 'yak for a bit. I was more determined and paddled the whole way. It's a very chill area (or was in May) but if you wanted to bring a group of folks to paddle and sunbathe and eat some snacks on the shore (which apparently happens in the summer) you'll have a blast. We prefer barren, inclimate weather (seriously) so it was a perfect day for us.

    As first-time rafters with two skeptical teenage girls in tow, we weren't sure if we were about to…read morebond... or just bounce off some rocks. But Austin was our fearless rafting guide and part-time therapist--who calmed nerves, cracked jokes, and got us paddling in no time. From the very first splash, Austin made us feel safe and slightly more athletic than we actually are. He coached us through the twists and turns of the creek, and somehow convinced our teens that getting absolutely drenched and paddling for their lives was the best day ever. Miracles do exist. We glided through hidden stretches of the creek like pros (or at least like enthusiastic amateurs with great lighting), hollering with joy and soaking up every second of the adventure. Even the "hold on tight!" moments felt like a ride at a theme park--but with better views and less screaming. 10/10 would paddle again. If you're looking for an unforgettable family outing full of laughter, nature, and just the right amount of "we might flip but only if you don't do what Austin says", he's your guide. He's part guide, part hype man, and all-around river legend. Bring snacks or a picnic lunch for after an early morning trip, bring sunscreen (and put it on BEFORE you get a wetsuit. Rent shoes when you check-in ($5/person). Your family will thank you for this adventure (once they stop laughing and wringing out their socks).

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience on the July 2 beginner rafting trip was…read moredisappointing enough that I feel others should know what to expect. The day started with what appeared to be a major organizational failure. Instead of sending individual beginner groups down the river separately, the company combined two beginner groups into one massive group of approximately 16 rafts. Having that many inexperienced rafters on the water at the same time created congestion, confusion, and raised serious safety concerns. Unfortunately, those concerns proved valid. One person in our raft fell into the river twice during the trip. While rafting always involves some risk, our guide, Lily, appeared completely unprepared for the responsibility of leading a beginner group. We were told it was her first time guiding, and it showed. She struggled to give clear directions, could not project her voice well enough for everyone in the raft to hear, and often seemed unsure of how to effectively manage and direct the boat through the rapids. Beginner rafters depend on their guide for instruction and confidence, and that was lacking throughout the trip. What was even more concerning was learning that the company had to borrow guides from other rafting companies just to have enough staff for the day. In fact, our bus had to exit the freeway so one of the borrowed guides could be dropped off at his own employer to start his shift. That alone speaks volumes about how unprepared the operation appeared to be. The final frustration was the length of the trip. Our beginner trip departed at 9:00 a.m. and did not return until after 2:00 p.m. More than five hours for a beginner rafting excursion is excessive, especially when there was little communication explaining the delays. I understand that outdoor activities can be unpredictable, but the issues we experienced were not related to weather or river conditions. They were the result of poor planning, inadequate staffing, and questionable operational decisions. The river itself was beautiful, but the overall experience was overshadowed by safety concerns, lack of organization, and poor communication. I hope management takes a serious look at how these trips are staffed and managed before someone gets hurt. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company.
