Half-Day Arkansas River Rafting Trips
For a taste of white water river rafting, try America's favorite... the Arkansas River!
Half-day river trips are ideal for first time floaters or those wishing to enjoy whitewater excitement who only have a limited amount of time available. These white water rafting trips are generally ten miles in length and about three hours long - from start to finish.
No single river experience anywhere in the world can be compared to Colorado's Arkansas River offering close to 100 miles of navigable water ranging from introductory floating to world class river rapids excitement!
