Arkansas River (Co) Video

Post by SteveGabbard » Mon Jul 30, 2012 10:25 am

As dry as it is here I thought I would post a link to some video of our Colorado Trip this year. A little bit of SUP surfing, a little Brown's Canyon kayaking, with a pinch of general debauchery at the end.

The water was LOW when Doug We66er and I hooked up with Jedi Master boater Kayakmamma for our run down Browns. Picture Ed Banks through the Falls at 4' with very little flatwater.

NIce edit. I think that folks don't realize the fun to be had even at the lower water levels. Wish the timing had worked out for me to join you, maybe next year...

Nice video! Thanks for sharing. Browns does look like a good time.

Great video! It was super fun getting to paddle with my Arkie home boys in Colorado!

Cowper-I wish we could have hooked up as well. And, yes, even though AW listed the runs as too low they were great for what most people in Arkansas are used to paddling. Especially after last springs season was so bad.

Lorraine-It was a blast! Look forward to boating with you again!

Thanks Half Ton. It was a beautiful place. We covered 12 miles in about 4 hours. The access areas in Colorado are top notch as well.
