The Best Places for Tubing in Colorado

For those looking for a mild yet cool escape from the hot Colorado sun, river tubing or floating can be a great activity. With inexpensive rates and flexible time options, river tubing is often a go to family fun activity for Rocky Mountain tourists and locals alike.  Here are some great Colorado locations to rent a tube or raft and take a lazy adventure down the river:

Boulder Creek:  Voted one of the top ten best lazy rivers to tube down, Boulder Creek offers a variety of access points depending on what type of water level you are looking for.  Companies such as Colorado Water Sport rent tubes, kayaks and stand up paddle boards for use on Boulder Creek.  You may also want to pick up a wet suit for the often cold water temperatures!

Clear Creek White Water Park:  More of a commercial adventure, the Clear Creek White Water Park offers a quarter mile of mellow tubing, canoeing and kayaking.  Located in Golden, Colorado, this is the perfect stop for tourists to literally get their feet wet prior to a whitewater rafting adventure.

The Upper Colorado River:  Suitable for larger rafts, the Upper Colorado River offers Class I-II sections of water and is perfect for sightseeing.  Colorado River Rentals in Kremmling offers both rentals and guided trips for this type of adventure.  With weight requirements of a mere 30 lbs, a guided Colorado River trip is a great experience for the whole family.
