Beginner Whitewater Rafting on Historic Clear Creek
Description
Middle Clear Creek is one of the greatest beginner rafting runs in the nation. With numerous rapids and historical significance, it is hard to deny the value. Although Clear Creek holds more rapids than most any other run in the US, the rapids of our Middle section are straight-forward and perfect for families with children or anyone else looking for something a bit easier. Rafters will also catch glimpses of Colorado's rich gold mining history and maybe even a miner or two as they splash down this unique stretch of whitewater.

We had a really fun day on this half day rafting trip with Downstream Adventures! Dylan was the best guide, and made the trip so fun and had lots of great stories to share. He even stopped to let folks jump off a rock cliff into the river! This trip was suitable for all levels. A good mix of rapids, lazy floating, and so much beautiful scenery! Highly recommend Downstream Adventures!
So much fun! We had Benjamin as our tour guide and he made the experience so much fun & easy! I was a little nervous since this was our first water rafting experience and everything was great. Russell,Benjamin and the other tour guides were awesome and made the experience so much fun. Highly reccomend to anyone in the area!!!
We had an amazing afternoon on the river, our guide Kaelin was wonderful, very knowledgeable of the area and river, she was great with our kids, our group of 6 people ranged from grandparents to our 6 year old son and the trip was perfect for all ages and experience levels. All of the staff from the other guides to our bus driver were all great, their meeting location had everything you might have forgotten, as well as clean bathrooms and an area of changing rooms which was great to have upon returning! We will be booking with Downstream Adventures next time we are in area!
We did the beginner rafting experience and had the best time. We were a group of 7 including 2 kids. Everyone enjoyed the rafting experience and our guides were wonderful. We had Brady & Will Smith as our guides and both were wonderful. My 8-yr old son said that Brady was super fantastic. Now they all want to go again and can’t wait to be older enough for the intermediate rapids. 😊
We had a great time river rafting on clear creek! Benjamin was a phenomenal, experienced guide with great stories. He shared historical stories, information on the nature around us, and personal experiences. We felt safe and learned a lot from our great teacher. Thank you so much!
Great beginner trip. Knowledgeable guide. Don’t let the safety briefing scare you. It’s like the airline briefing for unlikely events…
We had an amazing experience rafting with our daughter’s soccer team! Even though the water levels were lower than usual, the guides never let that take away from the fun. They worked incredibly hard to make sure everyone had a great time, keeping the trip exciting, safe, and full of laughs from start to finish. Our group included both kids and adults, and the guides were patient, encouraging, and made everyone feel comfortable. Their positive attitudes and enthusiasm really made the experience. You could tell they genuinely cared about giving us the best adventure possible despite the conditions. Thank you for making our team outing such a memorable one. We would absolutely recommend this company and would love to come back when the water is higher! And hopefully be able to do the next level up!
This white water rafting was a blast. There were some really pretty spots along the way; we laughed a lot, and our guide, Brian, was awesome. We'll ask for him next time we go back.
This was our first time water rafting. Our guide nick made it very entertaining. Super fun and very family friendly. Would do it again in a heart beat
We had a fantastic time with our guide Mark. The water level was low due to weather conditions but the rapids were still fun! It’s a great trip for first timers and families as the guides are informative and very patient. Highly recommend.
