Denver
Welcome to the Denver region
Welcome to the Denver Kayaking page of the World Kayak Blog.ﾠ Colorado is one of the top paddling regions in the United States.ﾠ Denver offers 300+ days of sun shine a year, steep creeks 30 minutes away, tons of Class III-IV, and 14.5 miles of man-made WW running right through the middle of it.ﾠDenver pales in size compared to New York, Dallas or LA.ﾠ It is a small city with a cool sports vibe, great food, fun night life, amazing concert options, and more skinny outdoorsy people than you can shake a stick at.ﾠ Denver really does have it all.ﾠ People here love their free time, and most are multi sport proficient.ﾠ Denver draws every type of whitewater paddler and it is still one of the easier places to find a paddling partner.ﾠ Welcome to the Mile High Paddling Club.
