Eagle River

The lower Eagle River provides a variety of scenic, outdoor recreation opportunities for all visitors to enjoy. For river enthusiasts, fishing, rafting, kayaking and canoeing are plentiful on the Eagle River. Floating season generally occurs during late May through July, and whitewater rapids range from Class III (Medium) to Class IV (Difficult).

One of the most popular places to catch trout in central Colorado is on the Eagle River. Rainbow and Brown trout dominate the angler's creel, but a few Cutthroat and Brook are occasionally caught.

The scenery along the Eagle River includes 30 miles of colorful and rugged sandstone cliffs and canyons from Edwards to Dotsero. Spruce trees, cottonwoods, alder, dogwoods and a variety of other riparian vegetation borders the river. Spruce-fir and aspen forests are seen in the background mountains, and Serviceberry, scrub oak, pinyon-juniper woodland and sagebrush and grasses in the lower foothills. The valley is mainly agricultural and livestock ranches.
