The Arkansas River will challenge both the most extreme adventure seeker and provide some family-friendly entertainment even that younger children can enjoy.
The raft trip will take you through "The Grand Canyon" of the Arkansas. This geological wonder cuts nearly 1000 ft. into the earth and is traversed by the Royal Gorge bridge.
Raft guides are trained well beyond the state requirements. Guides have medical and CPR training and are also trained in emergency river rescue. Echo Canyon uses top notch rafts and equipment.
