Downstream Adventures Rafting - Clear Creek - Empire, Colorado

We had a wonderful rafting trip with Downstream Adventures! Our guide, Kevin, was amazing and funny. I was a little nervous about doing class 3&4 rapids but he guided us safely and gave us clear instructions. We were picked up immediately when we got to our destination and shuttled back to the main building. Another company had a large group waiting out in the sun and it was really hot… made me happy with our choice!! Really great vibes from all the staff! We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Amazing time! Trevor was the best and was great with our kids (ages 5 and 7) for their first rafting experience. I even did a nice 25ft cliff jump!

I would recommend you definitely try this adventure!

As a group of 10 woman in our early 30s we had an incredible experience! The thrill level was perfect on the intermediate course and we all stayed in the boat. If you don’t want to get wet or use your muscles this isn’t for you - it is NOT a lazy river! It is an adventure ride in the best way. Aaron and Kevin made us feel safe the entire time and this company felt the most prepared on the river compared to the others.

Side note - THE TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE AND IT TOOK 2 HOURS TO DRIVE 25 MILES! Plan accordingly 🙂

What a phenomenal experience! We did the all day trip with an 8 yr old and 6 yr old. They LOVED every minute. The lunch provided was delicious. Our guide was Trevor. Knowledgeable, experienced, and fantastic with our kids. They are begging to go back but demand that Trevor is our guide again. We will definitely be back and truly hope we get to see Trevor and Steve at our next visit.

Had a fabulous time with Allie as our guide.

After arriving at the facility we had our brief then received all our equipment. Husband decided not to put on a wetsuit (which he later regretted, that water was refreshingly cold). Loaded onto a large school bus and driven to our location. Allie walked us all through positioning and the various commands. And off we went!

Allie briefed us on various things as went traversed the little river while we paddled down. Absolutely loved it. After we finished bus was waiting to pick us up and return us to the mains office.

Well coordinated teams. Equipment was in great shape. Guides were awesome. Overall a fantastic experience.

(Myself, husband and two kids 13 and 14). Husband has done this before but everyone else was a newbie!

What a fun afternoon on the water. From the moment we checked in until the moment we left everyone we interacted with were super friendly, helpful and funny. We had a blast in the river floating the beginner trip with Henry as our guide. He was kind, thoughtful and a joy to talk to. We would highly recommend them for a float trip and we can’t wait to go back and do an intermediate float trip next!

Absolutely the best white water rafting experience for a family! Our guide, Jenna was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, informative, patient and gave us all the history along the trip. I would highly recommend booking your trip here! Make sure to rent the water boots for five bucks and buy the pictures! We loved every second!

We had a great time with Downstream. Mark was a great raft guide, navigating us through the intermediate rapids. Intermediate was perfect for us, lots of Class 4 rapids but nothing too crazy for our first trip. Thanks guys!
