Where to Go White Water Rafting in Durango, CO

Durango, Colorado, is an ideal place for people who want to go white water rafting during their vacations. The Animas River flows through Durango, and a variety of white water rafting trips are available.

4 Corners Whitewater offers several types of rafting trips. Families can float down the lower part of the river through small rapids. Rafters will see cottonwood trees along the river during part of this trip. Another trip offered by this company consists of a train trip to the San Juan National Forest and a rafting trip along the upper part of the Animas River. Those who are looking for an extreme rafting trip will be interested in an overnight journey that includes rafting through the upper part of the river. Some of the rapids here are several miles long.

People who want to spend a short time on the river will be interested in the trips offered by Durango Rivertrippers & Adventure Tours. Travelers can take a two-hour trip or a four-hour trip that includes a view of downtown Durango from the river. The four-hour trip includes a snack break halfway through the trip.
