Our guide Lindsay was fun, super experienced and had an amazing personality. If looking for a great fun experience this is your place!!

Beware! Terrible xperience! We reseved and paid 2 days in advance, planned the family trip and only when we got there we found out it was closed! We are waiting for refund but we lost a day in our trip, very bad experience.
Great experience- 5 stars

Aaron was a fantastic guide. If I were to do anything differently, it would be to go a little earlier in the season.
Great whitewater experience

Had a great time rafting Clear Creek with Russell from Downstream Adventures. He was an experienced guide who led our raft with skill
Fantastic Experience

Joe was fantastic in teaching, guiding, supporting, and giving us an awesome trip on the intermediate run! Could not have asked for a better staff, equipment, or setting. First time whitewater rafting and went smoothly with lots of memories and stories to come from it! Highly recommend!
Great fun! We had a blast!

I liked being able to paddle and be involved in the action and not just sitting, letting the guide do all the work. The rapids were perfect for our group, especially my 14 yo daughter who’s never been before. Russell was awesome and really knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Awesome!!!

Brought a friend who had never gone. We all had a great time. Ready to do again. Excellent experience.
Such a fun day!
Ana_C, Jul 2023
Absolutely terrific rafting experience!! The rapids are definitely legit and our group of 6 were all able to be in one raft. Aaron kept us safe and got us through all the whitewater. There is a bus ride that was a touch longer than we expected (20-ish minutes) but Luke, our leader for the day, kept us entertained. The river is beautiful and there are some fun things like rafting beneath one of the rope crossings from the adventure center. We had a great time! Signed, a group of moms on their annual girls’ trip.
Intermediate better than beginner for most adventurers

I had a great trip on Clear Creek with the Downstream Adventures Rafting. They were friendly and ensured we all had a great time on the water. I always felt safe and proper safety measures were in place throughout the trip!
