Clear Creek Intermediate Whitewater Rafting near Denver
Description
Clear Creek Canyon is unique in the quantity and quality of its rapids. It has more rapids than nearly any other commercially run stretch of whitewater in the nation. It is also free-flowing, meaning that the water levels change throughout the season, offering a variety of experiences. In addition to world-class rafting, it is also the home of the 1859 Gold Rush. Gold is still found in the creek by intrepid miners using pans and dredges. Guests will pass many sites of historical significance related to the Gold Rush while rafting on Clear Creek. Clear Creek is also conveniently located nearby Denver and other surrounding resorts, making it the perfect day-trip excursion.

Wish we were told about the drought and low water level prior to going out as we likely wouldn’t have wasted our time.
Thanks to Audrie our rafting guide, we had a great time. The water is low in certain areas but Audrie guided us with ease. This is a definite must while in Colorado.
Went with family and we had a great time. We did the intermediate trip and it was great for beginners.
Booked this experience for my 23 year old son and myself. We had an amazing time. My son ended up in the water by mistake but the guide, Nick, and someone else in the boat were quick to act to get my son n back on the raft. The cures were amazing. I will say we went on the first tour of the day at 8:30 and we were afraid we would be too cold but it was perfect. Nick did an amazing job as four of us know n the raft had a rough time keeping in sync but Nick kept guiding us to be better together. I have some mobility issues but no and but did great on the raft. I am an active 60year old and recommend the intermediate level trip if you are active or it it's your first time and you are willing to participate actively in rafting. Would do it all over again if I could!
From the moment we arrived until the end of the trip, the staff was very friendly, helpful, professional, and made us feel at ease. I have been on several white water rafting trips over the years, and this was one of my favorite. The day was perfect, the water was great, and we had an excellent guide, Ben, who was kind, patient, skilled, and very encouraging! We laughed a lot and made great memories today! This was my first experience white water rafting again since my husband passed; and our guide, Ben, made it a very positive experience back out on the rapids! Thank you for a great day, Ben!
Magic Mike put on a show! He was very entertaining and was a phenomenal guide. 10/10 would ride with Mike again
Benjamin was a great guide - very enthusiastic
Fantastic! It was a beautiful day and everything was perfect. The guide was knowledgeable and communicated all. Instructions clearly. They gave us wetsuits, which I recommend because the water was cold. Next time we come to Colorado, this is definitely on the list.
The Clear Creek Intermediate Whitewater Rafting with Downstream Adventures was a fantastic time!! Avery our guide was great!! He knows his way around rapids & we learned a lot about the river!! We would 1000% recommend this rafting trip!!
Excellent facilities and equipment…was a little worried about being cold but wet suits, boots, and jacket made the experience 1st class. Also, our guide Ike made the ride smooth and less worrisome at key boulder points. Ask for Ike as your guide.
