Learn how to Kayak and Stand Up Paddle in Aspen, Colorado!
Experience the Rivers in Colorado!
Located in the central Rockies, we offer friendly guides and coaches, high level instruction and superb rivers in and around the incredible, historic town of Aspen.
Our main office is the Nature Preserve on the Roaring Fork River 5 minutes above town. We take students on three beautiful sections, each slightly more challenging. They provide a perfect progression for the novice paddler and quick and easy access for a workout or roll session for intermediate and advanced paddlers.
Advanced paddlers enjoy the Slaughter House section of the Fork 5 minutes downstream from Aspen. Intermediate kayakers play in the Toothache rapids 15 min. from town. We also have access to 4 more sections of the Fork and the Colorado River.
