Cool off this summer as you discover water sports in Aspen. Aspen is an incomparable destination with myriad outdoor adventures, with water activities being no exception.
Rafting
Whether you love riding the rapids or you're just looking for a leisurely float down the river, there's a rafting adventure just for you. Come explore your options and choose between the Roaring Fork River, the Colorado River, and the Arkansas, three rivers that are right in our backyard. Check out Aspen Whitewater Rafting, Blazing Adventures or Elk Mountain Expeditions for great rafting options.
Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP)
Mix it up with the sport that's all the rage, SUP! Our nearby rivers offer great opportunities for both beginners and SUP enthusiasts to get out there and get active. SUP is not only fun, but it can be a great work-out too. Stop by Four Mountain Sports for board, pump, paddle, helmet, and lifejacket rentals. If you're a newbie to the sport, Blazing Adventures and Aspen Kayak Academy offer lessons for all levels.
