Diversify Whitewater Community River Float - Northern Colorado

Additional participant spots will be opened on June 9.

Join Diversify Whitewater, City of Fort Collins Natural Areas, Rocky Mountain Adventures, RallyCrew, and American Whitewater for the sixth 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!

We are also looking for event volunteers to guide rafts, set safety, and help with on-shore tasks. Please sign-up as a volunteer above if you are interested and available! Volunteers will start the day at 7am to get the event site, boats, and gear ready for participants. 

During the event, participants will meet at Picnic Rock on Sunday, June 29 and will shuttle up to the launch site at Gateway Natural Area. 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 from a family catering business will be provided for all attendees at Picnic Rock after the river run. This event is 100% FREE for all attendees. You must pre-register for this event in order to attend!
