The Cache La Poudre River (pronounced Poo-der) lies within 90 minutes of Denver and Estes Park. This funny sounding river, named by French fur trappers, has everything from mild to wild! With its deep canyons and clear waters, this river runs wild and free and we offer a variety of ways to experience its adventures.

A1 Wildwater is proud to offer rafting and kayaking adventure trips on this national jewel from early May through Labor Day. Over the years, we’ve taken over 250,000 people down the wild Poudre River and they’ve come from almost every walk of life, country, profession, age group, and experience level. We’re still running the River and having a lot of fun doing it because we love to give our guests a quality adventure. We build a lot of value into our trips and if you go with A1 Wildwater you not only get the friendliest and best guides on the river, but you also get a greater variety of trips and times. We’re the only outfitter to have 3 different sets of self bailing rafts so we can maximize safety and fun when the water is high, medium, and low. Our trips are often longer and cover more rapids than comparable trips. Check out our links or call us for more information, you deserve some fun and adventure!
