Rafting and Kayaking

White water rafting is one of the most exciting activities to take advantage of during your getaway. In the nearby town of Eagle, CO, white water rafting has always been celebrated as the rushing, crystal-clear Colorado waters are a part of the culture. Eagle’s namesake river, the Eagle River, offers miles of entertainment, and whether you’re looking for a thrilling whitewater expedition or a soothing float trip, rafting is perfect for all ages! Consider taking a white water rafting tour with Timberline Tours, known as the Vail Valley’s largest and most experienced outfitter, located in Eagle.

For those who are seeking a chance to flex their kayaking muscles, the Avon Whitewater Park is a great option. The park offers a 350-foot section of white water that is built with natural boulders and natural-looking precast structures designed to perform optimally at different water levels. This ensures excellent kayaking through the summer months. The play park is located just south of the town center on Avon Road. Parking is available at Beaver Creek’s Elk Lot on Highway 6. You can take kayak and water safety lessons at an indoor pool in the Avon Recreation Center. 

Cold weather gear, helmets, and life vests are encouraged. Rental shops such as Beaver Creek Sports and Base Mountain Sports can equip you with your kayaking gear rentals. Kayaking is a beloved pastime in the Eagle River region, and if you’re looking for a guided experience, then Colorado Adventure Guides is the perfect choice.

Tubing and Floating

It’s an unforgettable adventure, perfect for enjoying nature’s beauty while feeling the rush of speed and the wind against your face.

Or if you’re looking for a truly relaxing time on the water, floating down the river on a tube is a fantastic option. Rent a tube or bring your own and float merrily along the river, taking in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Turtle Tubing is an excellent choice if you’re considering organizing a float party. Their 3-and-a-half-hour float in the Colorado River starts from Dotsero Landing and meanders down the Colorado River, made explicitly for relaxation. Turtle Tubing will provide you with the tubes; all you have to do is show up with your food and drinks and enjoy a day on the water.

Fly-Fishing

Fly fishing along Eagle River in Colorado is a cherished pursuit for anglers seeking both challenge and serenity amidst breathtaking natural beauty. Flowing through the pristine Rocky Mountain landscape, Eagle River offers an ideal habitat for various trout species, including rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout. These elusive fish thrive in the river’s clear, cool waters, where fly fishermen patiently cast their lines amid the tranquil surroundings. Throughout the seasons, each bend and pool of Eagle River presents opportunities to test one’s angling skills against these prized trout. Surrounded by dense pine forests and majestic peaks, anglers will find solace in the casting and anticipation of a catch, making Eagle River a haven for both seasoned fishermen and those seeking a connection with nature.
