Located just north of Old Town, kayakers, tubers and kids of all ages can enjoy the river and all it has to offer at Poudre River Whitewater Park. This park brought the river back to a more natural state, helps connect the river to downtown, provides safe access to the river and improves the floodplain.
Learn about the current depth and flow at the Poudre River Whitewater Park. The actual water depth and streamflow may vary from what's reported here and may suddenly change.
While the river is never completely safe, there are resources, practices and information to help. Learn more about river safety, view maps of the Poudre River and prepare for your upcoming visit on the Poudre Fire Authority website.
