Arkansas River - Colorado
Colorado's Arkansas River saw a 4% increase in 2006. An estimated $73 million dollars of tourism monies were distributed throughout the Upper Arkansas River Valley region. An 11% increase of private kayakers also brought the region an economic boost.
The Arkansas River has Class 1 to 5 rapids throughout is length and is punctuated with incredible scenery and peaks. With 300 days of warm sunshine, rafting, fishing, hiking and outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy this area immensely.
Float trips brought many fishermen out between Salida and Vallie Bridge. Joe Greiner and Jody Werner of Colorado River Outfitters Association will be presenting an accounting of the 2006 figures at the annual CROA meeting in February.
Colorado is experiencing a large snowpack this year which should provide for a long and exciting whitewater year. For more information, see the association's website contacts for outfitters in Colorado.
