Canyonlands National Park - Whitewater Rafting

Rafting-Horseback-Jeeps
Rafting-Horseback-Jeeps

The Green and Colorado Rivers offer great rafting, kayaking, canoeing and boating opportunities. Cataract Canyon below the confluence of the two rivers has some of the best white water in the country, while the rivers above the confluence offer wonderfully scenic float trips beneath orange-red canyon walls.

Your options in and near Canyonlands are described below.

Select Whitewater Rafting Guides & Outfitters for companies that offer whitewater rafting, kayaking or canoeing trips.




Colorado River - Cataract Canyon Up to Class V
 2-3 days
Located deep within the remote, rugged scenic splendor of Canyonlands National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is Cataract Canyon. Cateract Canyon contains some of the best whitewater in the country, especially during spring run-off. The so-called "graveyard of the Colorado" has 26 substantial rapids from Class 3 to 4+.

Colorado River - Hwy. 191 to Potash Class I
 1/2 to 1 day
This section of the river is similar to the "Take-Out Beach to Hwy 191" section, but it is less popular so you'll likely have the river more to yourself. Scenery is impressive high canyon walls.

Colorado River - Potash to Confluence Class I
 2-3 days
Past Potash the Colorado River leaves the highway, meanders past Dead Horse Point State Park 2,000 feet above and enters Canyonlands National Park. The high canyon walls continue to provide a marvelous backdrop but you'll experience more solitude being away from the highway and further from Moab.

Green River - Labyrinth and Stillwater Canyons Class I
 4 - 5 days
The Green River south of town meanders peacefully through beautiful red rock canyons for about 100 miles to the confluence with the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park. The river here is mostly wide and moves easily.
