Diversify Whitewater Community River Float - Northern Colorado

Join Diversify Whitewater, a national nonprofit that works to share the beauty of paddling with Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), and Allies, for the second annual Community River Float on the Cache la Poudre River near Fort Collins, Colorado. Participants will ride in rafts with experienced river guides down an exciting stretch of whitewater. No experience or equipment is necessary to participate!

This Community River Float will be hosted by Lily Durkee of Diversify Whitewater and Michele & Audrey Crockett of RiverBent and sponsored by Rocky Mountain Adventures.

Participants and volunteers will meet at Picnic Rock located near Fort Collins on CO-14 at 8:00am on Saturday, June 19th to catch a shuttle to the launch site. The group will float the beginner-friendly Filter Plant section of the Poudre River in guided rafts and other crafts together. On the river, participants will learn whitewater rafting basics with experienced river guides while navigating class I-III rapids. Lunch will be provided for all participants and volunteers at Picnic Rock after the river run. This event is 100% FREE for all attendees! 

To honor and respect this historic day, we will be participating in the Juneteenth national day of commemoration hosted by Outdoor Afro. Please register below.
