Rafting Season in Colorado May thru August

When it comes to rafting in Colorado, you can choose your own speed. Spend a sunny morning lazily drifting along a calm waterway or spend it energetically paddling, getting soaked by rapids, dipping past boulders and crashing over gut-wrenching drop offs. It’s up to you. Whitewater rafting in Colorado includes a bit of everything. Your best bet is to start out conservative, then tackle more difficult trips as you gain confidence and crave bigger thrills.

As long as the weather is warm and the water level is high, you can go rafting. River levels are generally at raft-able depths from May through late August. As a general rule, the earlier in the season the swifter the river. Of course, it ultimately comes down to snowmelt and how quickly or slowly it flows from the mountains. As the season progresses, river levels quickly increase, plateau, then decrease with autumn, indicating most of the snow has already melted from the mountains and marking the end of another rafting season.
