Plunge: Premier Whitewater Rafting in Colorado

HALF DAY –  Our Most Popular Trip!

Class: II, III, IV

The Plunge is one of the most action-packed whitewater adventures in the state!

Experienced rafters and beginners alike will truly enjoy this particular Colorado whitewater river adventure. It has all the scenery of the Poudre Splash but adds several big class IV rapids that will make your heart pound and bring a huge smile to your face. This continuous 2 1/2- 3 hour trip will check off that bucket list item.


The almost continuous rapids like Crystal Wall, Three Rock, and Pine View Falls keep the fun going the entire trip. For real excitement book your trip for the high water in June.   The Plunge is available from May 18th through August 10th (depending on snowpack), coming after these dates?  Check out our shorter Splash trip that runs through Labor Day!  Meeting times are 8:00 am and 12:00 pm.

Every half day adventure with Mountain Whitewater travels through Pine View Falls, the best class IV in the State of Colorado!


All high-water trips with Mountain Whitewater have a safety boater with every trip.  We are the only company on the Poudre to offer this!

***enjoy a special discount for booking a morning trip!***

Cost: $115.00

Plunge Rapids

Three Rock IV

Class: IV

The Wild & Scenic Cache La Poudre River | Three Rock Rapid in July

About a mile and a half into this run is you first Class IV rapid. Two huge side by side boulders choke the channel resulting in a very interesting rapid. At higher flows, a fun run is right down the middle or you can zig zag through the left side. Either way, get ready to paddle!s

Crystal Wall IV

Class: IV

A long continuous rapid containing several holes begins as the river bends to the right following Ginsu Corner. At the end of this rapid the river flows directly into a rock wall which rafts usually back away from to the right. The Baldwin Tunnel on Hwy 14 also marks the end of this rapid.

Groover IV

Class:

Rafting the Poudre River at Groover Rapid

A small wave train leads into a giant hit through a box canyon that will leave you breathless

Mishawaka Falls IV

Class:

Paddlers in a yellow raft hit a big splashy rapid

A long series of drops and holes, this rapid does not disappoint. The river stretches and curves its way through class IV+ rapids as it gives one the feeling of being way way back in wilderness. A “paddle high-five” awaits at the end to the amusement of onlookers.

Cardiac Corner IV

Class:

A blue raft with paddles and big smiles!

A screaming right hand turn through a granite canyon does not disappoint. You have enough time to take a quick breathe before the next rapid begins.

Pineview Falls IV

Class: IV

High-water view of Pine View Falls on the Cache La Poudre River near Fort Collins, CO

Pine View Falls is the crux rapid on this run, providing a classic Colorado Class IV experience. The rapid is fun at every river level, so be ready to paddle hard and scream with delight. We love this rapid so much, we will run it on every trip we have to offer.

roller coaster III

Class: III


This large wave train gives boaters the up and down
feeling of riding a roller coaster. Always a favorite, this rapid
is one of the last on this run.

*This is only a partial list of rapids, the trip will contain other class II, III and IV rapids that vary in difficulty due to seasonal water levels. This trip is available to both beginner and experienced paddlers.
