A new $900,000 whitewater park located on the Colorado River just upstream from the Midland Avenue bridge and I-70’s Exit 114 in West Glenwood Springs is allowing kayakers to “soak it all in.” Because this section of the Colorado River has unusually high water flows, the park has the potential to be used almost year-round. A “standing wave” will occur during low, medium and high river flows, due to artificial boulders located at different places in the park. The only time the park may not have a standing wave is when spring runoff peaks and the main water features may be totally submerged. Top 5 Motorcycle Rides from Glenwood Springs 1. McClure Pass 2.
