Winter Park Colorado Canoeing & Kayaking Trips

With several lakes and rivers, Winter Park attracts thousands of canoers and kayakers a year. Those who like to gently row their canoes or kayaks generally prefer the calm Lake Granby. Those seeking whitewater on the other hand, prefer to test their skills on the Colorado, North Platte, or Arkansas Rivers.

Lake Granby has a couple of marinas with boat ramps and boat storage for those traveling with their own canoes and kayaks. You may also rent boats near the marina, as well as get a bite to eat or stock up on supplies you will need on your big lake adventure.

Whitewater kayakers will definitely be challenged on one of the rivers near Winter Park. If you are not experienced with these rivers, it is best to hire a guide that can show you where the biggest holes are and how to get through them. You can also take a kayaking lesson if you are a complete novice. You can learn maneuvering techniques as well as how to read and judge conditions of rivers.
