America Outdoors outfitters provide whitewater rafting and kayaking, canoeing, scenic float trips and world-renowned fishing in the Gunnison River Gorge.
This river’s malachite green waters have been awarded “Gold Medal” status for rainbow, brown, cutthroat and cuttbow trout fishing. The Gunnison’s narrow river corridor creates exciting whitewater thrills as the rapids wind into the 2800 foot high walls of Black Canyon and later into the Gunnison River Gorge.
Many of the whitewater and fishing trips begin at the Tail Race Fishery below the Blue Mesa Project. Accessible only by foot or horseback, a rafting or fishing trip on the Gunnison River is a wilderness experience of the finest caliber for those who are willing to go the extra mile.The one mile hike down to the riverbank with peregrine falcons souring above you is not to be missed and the solitude and unspoiled beauty of this river make this trip truly a unique river experience.
