South Platte

Don't mess with the first 3.3miles downstream (North) of Deckers Rt.126 bridge (at intersection beside shops) because there are low bridges and some jerk has put up 'No Trespassing' signs with cables across the river... Beyond that river bridge at 3.3miles, the river is clear & ripe for paddling. Platte River Rd follows the river & there are many parking areas. You'll see many tubers floating down the river & fishermen on the banks. At medium water level, this stretch of river has several fun Cl II-III rapids with fast flatwater in between.
