Eagle River

Fed by snowmelt from Vail Mountain, the free-flowing Eagle River in central Colorado provides world-class, multi-sport recreation. Paddlers flock to challenging, high-water whitewater, while the river's moderate flows and dedicated play parks offer excellent spots for both scenic canoeing and freestyle kayaking. Beyond paddling, the Eagle River is celebrated for exceptional fly and float fishing. From the high-water spring season to late summer when flows mellow, anglers can explore prolific trout waters spanning the river corridor from Minturn to Gypsum.
