Rafting & SUPing

Take a scenic float trip on the Colorado River from Palisade to James M. Robb Colorado River State Park at Corn Lake. One of Palisade’s gems is Riverbend Park, with a boat ramp called Harky’s Launch. Visitors can bring their own or utilize local shops to rent stand-up paddle boards and kayaks.

Here in Palisade, you have a choice of taking a guided float trip down the Colorado River or completing a self-guided tour. Palisade Cycle and Shuttle has rafts, stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes available for rent. The trip takes 2-3 hours depending on river flow and speed. This is a great experience for the family or an afternoon cocktail float. Swimsuits are recommended since you could get wet. Palisade Cycle and Shuttle also offers stand-up paddleboard lessons for you and your family or friends. Reservations are required and personal float times can be scheduled.
