A River Ranch Favorite

Why are more people choosing rafts on the Elk?
Because they’re the ultimate way to float together. Rafts are roomy, relaxed, and perfect for groups that want to swim, chill, and enjoy every mile side by side. Kids love hopping in and out. Friends love having space to laugh and hang out. And with the Elk’s class I–II rapids, you’ll cruise through splashy spots and gentle shoots that keep the float exciting from start to finish.

If you’re not rafting… you’re missing out on the best seat on the river.

We have 4, 6, 8, and 10 person rafts!

Rafts typically book out first, so call early for reservations.
