Perfect Family Trip
Raft the Uncompahgre River from the town of Ridgway to the Ridgway Reservoir on this 2 hour guided rafting trip! (Class II to III rapids.)
Family Orientated - This stretch of river is mild enough for the younger crowd, yet offers enough excitement to keep the more seasoned rafters engaged!
Easy Access - Our private put-in location is less than a mile from RIGS Fly Shop, while the take out is less than 5 miles away! This keeps transportation time to a minimum and maximizes fun on the water.
Great Scenery - The majestic San Juan Mountains fill the back drop for the entire run! Float through prime wildlife habitat for an up-close look at songbirds, deer, and birds of prey!
PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE TAXES & FEES
Trips will depart promptly at designated trip time and head to the put-in location, just minutes from our shop! Once we arrive at the the put-in, guides outfit each person with PFD's (personal flotation devise) and perform the RIGS "Saftey Talk." From here, we split into individual boat loads (typically: 5 to 7 per-boat.) and review individualized instruction from your guide. Once the stage is set for a successful, safe and exciting trip we hit the water!
Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your trip departure time!
All transportation is included. *Allow ample time for parking.
Custom Pick-Up and drop off is available for groups of 12 or more - please inquire.
Listed below are some basic essentials for your guided rafting trip.
Note: you can purchase or rent most of these items at our rafting shop upon arrival. Advise: space for packing personal equipment is limited. Please limit personal gear to items that are appropriate for the length and current weather conditions associated with your trip. *The Guide for each raft will provide a dry bag in which you can put your personal belongings.
