Paddle / Watersports Venues & Facilities in Colorado

Overview

About Paddle / Watersports Venues & Facilities

2 venues · 2 have hosted events on CUP

Colorado may be landlocked, but its reservoirs, lakes and rivers keep paddlers busy. This page lists paddle and watersports venues, including reservoirs, marinas, boathouses, whitewater parks and outfitters that host stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, rowing and rafting.

The season is short and sweet. Lakes and reservoirs warm up from late spring into early fall, and river levels peak with snowmelt in late spring and early summer, which is prime time for whitewater. Water is cold year round at higher elevations, so plan for it. State parks generally require a parks pass, and inspection rules for boats and paddleboards help protect lakes from invasive species.

Open a venue to see its details and upcoming races, regattas and clinics. If you are hosting a paddle race, SUP yoga series or river festival, you can list your event free on Colorado Under Par.
