Splash-N-Dash Extended Half-Day Rafting Adventure

Browns Canyon Half-Day… Plus an Hour of Mildwater

The Splash-n-Dash EXTENDED trip combines our Browns Canyon ½ Day trip…the most popular white water section of the Arkansas River, with the Splash-N-Dash Family rafting trip, a mild one hour scenic float.

This may be the perfect trip for white water enthusiasts if part of your group is too young, or if some of your group is unwilling to raft the bigger whitewater of Browns Canyon since these folks can raft the first hour of this adventure on the Splash-N-Dash Family rafting trip. Groups with members that are on these two trips can ride together on the same raft for the first hour of the trip.

Your entire group begins this trip together at our beautiful riverside picnic area next to our office. The Splash-N-Dash FAMILY participants will be brought back to our office at the end of their trip, while the more adventurous Splash-N-Dash EXTENDED members of the group continue on through the class 3-4 rapids of the Browns Canyon ½ Day trip…the most popular section of the Arkansas River-America’s most popular rafting river!
