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.

Raluca Lupu9/18/2025Great local rafting company. Took great care of me and my family (three kids under 12) on the river. Maddy was an awesome guide and provided some great local Aspen scoop. Highly recommend.read moreread less
Chet Rao9/04/2025We have partnered with AWR for our annual nonprofit trip for the past four years, and it’s always a great experience! Many of the same guides return each year, which makes it even more fun as we’ve gotten to know them. The crew is knowledgeable and makes sure everyone has a great time, especially with their jokes. Looking forward to next July!read moreread less

We had the best time rafting class 2 rapids with John and Nick. John was hilarious and great with our group of kids (three 9 year olds and two 6 year olds). He kept them entertained and focused the entire time! If you have kids, ask for John from Indiana!read moreread less
