Colorado State Park Fee

The Arkansas River goes through the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area so the State of Colorado charges a state park fee to raft on the Arkansas.

The park fee is 5.25% per trip or $3.00 per person per day, whichever is greater.

All rafting companies on the Arkansas River add the state park fee to their prices.

If we have to cancel your trip because of water conditions, you may either reschedule your trip or receive a full refund.

We will NOT cancel a trip because of rain, snow or cold.
