When Does White Water Rafting Start?

White-water rafting is one of Colorado's most exciting outdoor sports. But unlike ATV Tours, rafting isn't a year-round activity. Each spring, the ice on the rivers and snow in the mountains have to melt enough to provide sufficient water-flow. Every year is a little different, as is every river, due to snowfall the winter before and spring temperatures.

Clear Creek
Mile Hi rafts on Clear Creek hopefully from Mother's day through Labor Day. March and April are normally the snowiest months in Colorado. We are located 20 miles east of Loveland Ski Area and the Continental Divide. Our rafting season is dependent upon the amount of snow the Ski Areas are skiing on. When the snow starts melting at Loveland Ski area it takes approximately 24 hours to come down Clear Creek to Lawson where we are located. The water will ebb and flow with the temperatures. The melt stops if temperatures drop to freezing. The rafting melt starts when temperatures are warmer longer than they are freezing. White water rafting is totally dependent on Mother Nature.
