Whitewater Rafting - San Miguel River

The San Miguel River begins in the San Juan Mountains near Telluride Colorado and joins the Dolores River also in Colorado. Enjoy whitewater rafting with 14,000+ peaks in view, granite or sandstone canyons depending on the route you chose. Because of conservative efforts to keep the San Miguel River in its pristine condition, the scenery, abundant birds, and rare plant life are breath taking.

The options for whitewater rafting trips abound from Class II and III rapids, gentle meandering, as well as kayaking. If you are looking for some great whitewater rafting, the San Miguel River makes a wonderful part of your Southwest Four Corners vacation.

Many of the Colorado rafting outfitters can suit your varying needs of thrill seeking to milder family trips. The length of each river trip depends on the portion of the San Miguel River and extension trips that either hook up with the Dolores and Colorado Rivers. Either way, your options for rafting and kayaking are endless.
