Welcome
to Southwest Whitewater!
Welcome to Southwest Whitewater where the fun begins. From the mild
yet exciting Lower Animas to the challenging and exhilarating Upper
Animas and Piedra River we offer river trips for every level of
experience; all in the incredible setting of the Southern San Juan
mountains. Our most popular run starts on the north end of Durango
and heads south on the Lower Animas River through some of the
beautiful scenery in the region. The run is rated Class III with
many exciting waves and rapids. The Lower Animas is the perfect trip for the whole family
and all you need to bring is sunscreen, water shoes, towel, shorts
and a readiness to have fun! Our State of Colorado certified river
guides are always ready to show you a safe and good time. Reserve
your trip now!
For a more challenging experience try one of the several runs from
the "Upper Animas" and "Piedra" Class V
rapids. The Upper Animas was rated as one of the best two day strip
in the U.S. by River Runner Magazine (Now Paddler Magazine). The river
has an average drop of 85 ft. per mile this makes the river one of
the fastest in the nation. The run consists of hundreds of rapids
with three rated Class V. It is consistently Class III and
IV for its entire length. While the scenery in the Animas river canyon
is beautiful you will find that you may not have time to view. This
river keeps even the expert rafters on the edge.

water based adventures, then check out Southwest Whitewater's fully
