When the river changes, we adapt. 🌊

Record drought conditions have changed what people expect on the Arkansas River this summer, but the adventure is far from over. At River Runners, we’ve pivoted to the scenic Lower Browns Canyon section, where guests are still making unforgettable memories rafting and inflatable kayaking.

The smiles are real, the splashes are refreshing, and there’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy.

☀️ Summer isn’t over yet! Our limited schedule runs now through Labor Day, so don’t wait to reserve your spot.

Rafting isn't the only way to take on Browns Canyon. Inflatable kayaks are the perfect opportunity to choose your own line down proper rapids while still having the help of a certified guide.

They're also a great way to up the thrill meter on this year's water levels!
