WHITEWATER RAFTING ON THE POUDRE RIVER NEAR BOULDER

A Wanderlust Adventure offers fantastic Boulder whitewater rafting trips on the Cache La Poudre River. Our meeting area just north of Fort Collins offers the closest and best whitewater rafting to Boulder. It takes about one hour to drive to our location. The scenery and the rapids in the Poudre Canyon are well worth the drive. We raft on the Cache La Poudre River, the only National “Wild & Scenic” River in Colorado. Unlike other pool and drop rivers in Colorado, the Poudre careens down a narrow canyon with almost continuous rapids. Stay alert for wildlife like deer, merganser ducks, bald eagles, bighorn sheep, and black bear.

Our intermediate to advanced Blast of Whitewater Trip explodes with some of the best Class III and IV level rapids in the state. For those in the Boulder area, a whitewater rafting trip on the Cache La Poudre River is great for experienced rafters or those seeking a more adventurous trip.
