Rafting on the Lower Eagle River
About Our Class III Avon, CO Lower Eagle River
Our favorite rafting trip in the state while this section is flowing!! One of the few un-dammed rivers still left in the west. Fed purely on snowmelt from the rugged Gore mountain range, the Lower Eagle River flows through a 2000 foot tall canyon, has towering cottonwood trees that reach all the way over the river and touch at the tops, features big fun class III rapids throughout, and its only minutes from Vail and Beaver Creek. This is the quintessential Vail rafting trip. The sweet aroma of choke cherry bushes mixed with the pungent pine and willows will have your senses peaked as you immerse yourself in the grandeur of the Colorado Wilderness.
The best rafting trip in the state! A must-do Vail adventure for every experience level.
