Animas River Float: Mixed Group Tour

This relaxed stand up paddleboarding experience on the Animas River offers a smooth and enjoyable way to spend time on the water. With no rapids along this section, it is ideal for beginners or anyone looking for a peaceful float. Guests can choose to paddle at their own pace or simply drift with the current while enjoying the surrounding scenery. The journey typically takes around one to one and a half hours, with additional time included for learning basic skills or pausing to relax on the river. Boards can also be adjusted into a kayak style setup for added comfort, making the outing flexible and enjoyable for different preferences. The tour begins at Oxbow Park and Preserve and covers a gentle stretch of about one and a half miles. Along the way, guides share simple techniques such as paddling positions, balance, and how to get back on the board if you fall in. Since riverbanks are not accessible, breaks are taken while floating. This experience suits those with moderate fitness who can paddle steadily and swim short distances wearing a safety vest. It is also suitable for families with children aged eight and above, with options for shared or smaller boards. Overall, it is a calm and scenic introduction to paddleboarding in a beautiful natural setting.
