Browns Canyon White Water Rafting - Experience the Best of Colorado River Rafting!

Browns Canyon is the most popular white water rafting adventure on the Arkansas River, the #1 rafted river in Colorado and the country! Breathtaking scenery, towering granite walls, amazing rock formations, and wildlife viewing all contribute to the lure of Browns Canyon, located just south of Buena Vista, Colorado near Denver, Colorado Springs, Breckenridge and Summit County. Because Browns Canyon is an ideal section on the Arkansas River for both beginners and enthusiasts, we recommend it for family vacations, youth group activities, family reunions, scout trips, or other groups looking to add a Colorado adventure activity to their trip itinerary. Isolated away from highways and roads, this unique wilderness river canyon provides the perfect setting for you to experience the best of Colorado!

Eliminating the need for an additional shuttle, all Browns Canyon Whitewater Rafting river trips launch from our riverfront facility located just south of Buena Vista, Colorado. Our exclusive put-in is one of very few in the industry that allows you this convenience. For those looking to add to their Colorado rafting vacation, these white water rafting trips can be packaged with other activities Noah's Ark offers such as rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, fly fishing, or camping.
