Lodore Canyon Rafting and Inflatable Kayaking Inflatable Kayaking on Green River
Description   |   Itinerary   |   Lodore Canyon Map

Lodore Canyon River Rafting


A magnificent towering canyon marks the start of the trip at the "Gates of Lodore" and follows one of the most beautiful stretches of river anywhere. Fed by dam-controlled flows from Flaming Gorge Reservoir, the Green River through Lodore Canyon provides rafting fun throughout the summer.

The trip follows part of the route taken in 1869 by a great pioneer, Major John Wesley Powell, during his epic exploration of this continent's last uncharted wilderness.

In the calm stretches, wildlife abounds! As the oar-powered rafts quietly float through Lodore Canyon you may see deer, water fowl, beaver, and desert bighorn sheep. Plus, you will marvel at the Indian rock art carvings, remarkable geologic formations, and revel in the pristine, untouched, remote river setting.

Several challenging rapids with colorful names such as "Hells Half Mile", "Disaster Falls", and "S.O.B.", lie hidden between the sheer cliffs of Lodore. We consider this trip to be a great inflatable kayaking adventure!

"My family and I went on the Lodore trip and it was the most spectacular experience any of us had ever had! We were all taken care of so well, especially the kids.  Thank you so much for helping us create some really incredible memories for our family!"  — Kelly C.

"We just returned from Lodore and Yampa Canyon rafting trips with your company and have nothing but praise!  Considering our age, we had thought that these trips would probably be our last, but now we're already discussing the Westwater trip and maybe others. Please give our thanks to all of your staff." — Ed & Frankie C.
