Fueled by the runoff, the Eagle River flows down the Vail Valley in a rush of rapids and excitement. The rapids are wet and wild and periods of vigorous paddling may be required. The whitewater on the Eagle is considered moderate to advanced but not extreme. Safety is primary in these conditions. Due to water conditions, the Eagle River Is only available in May and June.
Each guest is provided with a fitted life jacket, helmet, and wetsuit. A thorough safety briefing covering whitewater procedures is given prior to launch. Under the wetsuit, you’ll be most comfortable in a swimsuit or other light clothing. The best footwear would sport sandals or running shoes. Remember to have a change of clothes in your car for after the trip.
