| _ | | _ | | | | The Lower Eagle section of the Eagle River is tame with time to relax and enjoy the colorful canyons of red, yellow and pale brown sandstone, speckled by sagebrush and junipers. But don't worry there are plenty of rapids to get you wet with small holes and splashy wave trains. The rapids are classified between II-III and the river is a perfect rafting experience for families or first time rafters. |
| | | _ | | _ | | | | Eagle River is divided into two sections, the upper and lower rivers. The upper section is wild whitewater with only a couple of chances to relax in between rapids. This section is classified as class IV, and features the Dowd chute section of the river. This fast moving section with continuous rapids is only 10 minutes away from Vail and Beaver Creek. The Dowd Chute is for the more adventurous and experienced rafter. This quarter-mile stretch of river located in Dowd Junction is the most aggressive part of the river. The constriction of the banks creates the chute that you will blast through. This is a physically demanding trip. Good physical condition is recommended and a minimum age of 15 years is required. |
