Colorado Kayaking

by | Jul 17, 2012 | JK Team Posts, Whitewater | 7 comments

This summer keeps getting better! I recently returned from a trip to the beautiful Colorado Rockies, a kayaker’s dream vacation.  The area has some amazing rivers and play spots!  Most of my kayak time was spent at the Gunnison Whitewater Park. This incredible area is man-made rapid on the Gunnison River and provided a great play hole for practicing and perfecting my whitewater moves.  Special thanks to the Lee family for a great trip!

        Lol. It was between 2 and 3 hundred cfs. The town put in some concrete and I and and a bunch of others put some rocks in by hand to help the hole out. It’s kinda cool to have a decent hole at that level.

        Do you think this footage was taken at 350 cfs or lower? Looks like more water then that.
