Kayaking
 The
Gunnison Valley
offers a wide
variety of kayaking
adventures from
Class V creeking on
the UpperEast and
Oh-Be-Joyful to
Class II runs on the
Gunnison and Taylor
Rivers. If rodeo
moves are your
style, try them out
at the Gunnison
Whitewater Park. For
kayak lessons at any
level, we offer
expert instruction
with our ACA
Certified guides.
Duckie trips
(inflatable kayaks)
are also a popular
option. We offer
guided trips and
rentals if you want
to go out on your
own. Three Rivers
also houses a paddle
shop to meet your
boating needs, from
booties and pfd’s to
gasket repairs.
Guided Duckie
Trips:
A duckie
is an inflatable
kayak paddled by one
or two people. It is
a stable boat like a
raft and does not
require you to be
enclosed or to have
a roll, as a hard
kayak does. All
duckie trips include
round trip
transportation from
the resort and all
gear necessary:
boat, paddle,
helmet, wetsuit,
splash clothes and
booties. Taylor
River trips include
Splash Flash
Photography services
and 3% US Forest
Service fees. All
trips leave at 9:00
am and 1:00 pm. Plan
to arrive at Three
Rivers Resort 30
minutes prior to
trip time. To
expedite your
check-in please
download and
complete a
waiver
(scroll down to
bottom of page) for
each person on the
trip.

are just learning,
try a roll clinic on
the pond to learn
the basics of
rolling and then
progress to moving
water on the Taylor
or Gunnison River.
If you are
experienced, take a
lesson to improve
your paddling skills
or to learn how to
play at the
whitewater park.
