Family Fun Near Colorado Springs – Rafting

Looking for a fun day trip, near Colorado Springs?

We spent a half day in Canon City, CO on a rafting trip down the Arkansas River. It was affordable and a lot of fun for our whole family! (Our kids are 14 and 6 years old.)

There are half-day and full-day rafting trips for all levels and all ages.

Canon City is about an hour away from Colorado Springs (S on 115 and W on 50), and if you keep traveling along Hwy 50, you will see TONS of rating companies ready to gear-you-up and take you through the different levels of rapids on the Arkansas River.

Wheeee!

Local Area Rafting Companies:

• Raft Masters
• River Runners
• Royal Gorge Rafting

   i`ve always loved rafts. my father promised many time he would build one.. but then i grew up. but a one day trip sounds tempting. Maybe i`ll give it a try.

   I grew up in Canon City in the days before rafting the Arkansas was a common event. Looks like fun. @jmitchener
