This guided instructional tour on the Roaring Fork River is the perfect way to test out paddle boarding for the first time. Running through the spectacular North Star Nature Preserve, just a mile east of Aspen. This slow-moving stretch of river meanders past wetlands and grasslands at the foot of Aspen Mountain, giving paddlers plenty of time to soak in the big views. Bring a bathing suit and a quick-dry top to take a dip in the refreshing water, or take a seat on your board, meditate, and become one with nature. Either way, this tranquil float will leave you cleansed, calm, and eager to do more paddling.
The trip includes a paddle board and all the necessary gear, a guide, and transportation. As a beginner, be warned that you might take a splash in the refreshing water, so come prepared with a bathing suit and active wear!
Any trip can be made private and customized for your group.
What’s Included

What to Wear Paddle Boarding
We suggest wearing quick drying clothing such as non-cotton shorts and t-shirt or bathing suit. Be sure to bring waterproof sunscreen (you will be Paddle Boarding at 9,000 feet where the sun is intense!) and sunglasses with a retaining device.
Trip Reviews
- My husband and I took our two boys (6&10) rafting with Aspen White Water Rafting and had the absolute BEST time! Marina, Leah and Fathom were our guides, they made it fun while keeping everyone safe ! We would highly recommend this company if you’re looking for your family but based on the girls experience and stories they’d be great at a more advanced rafting trip as well. Our kids can’t wait for our next river trip !read moreread lessJenifer Sanregret9/14/2023We had such a great day with our guide Adaire (and Lenny)! My husband and I brought our 17 year old daughter and her 2 friends. We were a little anxious, but felt so safe and confident with our guide. They were so much fun and professional. We will definitely come back again!read moreread lessNatalie P9/03/2023
- Charles was an amazing guide! He is super knowledgeable about the wild life and surrounding area. A rafting tour with Aspen Whitewater is the way to see this area of Colorado. Absolutely gorgeous and a ton of fun! The rest of the staff was also very friendly and helpful. We had a huge group (8 boats) and every single one of us had a fantastic time. 10/10 would recommend Aspen Whitewater Rafting – just watch out for Charles’ corny jokes, you may find yourself laughing.read moreread lessKirsty Wallace8/22/2023Kyle was our guide and he was the best!! We had a blast on our first whitewater rafting trip as a family. Our kids are ages 14 and 11 and they loved it! We chose the upper roaring forks trip and it was very fun. I highly recommend this group to guide you down the river. They were wonderful!!read moreread lessJaycie Mirabella1/18/2023Faboulous exprierence rafting the Colorado River under the guidance of Sam. Level 3 rapids for beginners was perfect under Sam’s coaching and navigating the big stuff in the river. His great knowledge of the surrounding town’s history was a huge plus as you make your way down the river, and loved his sense of humor. 5 out of 5 stars for Sam and AWR Company.
