Where: We will be starting at the Union Ave Put In, rafting, kayaking, biking and walking 6 miles of the S. Platte River and Bike Path finishing at Habitat Park. A complimentary shuttle from Habitat Park, where there is ample parking (even for trailers), to the start will be available in the morning only.
Put-In/Start: Union Chutes, On W. Union Ave. just west of S. Sante Fe Dr.
Take-Out/Finish: Habitat Park, S. Jason St. & Exposition Ave, Denver, CO

What: If you’ve got a raft, bring it we will find people to float with you, bikes and your own feet are other ways to be involved. Please see our personal gear list below, for suggestions on how to be prepared for a float trip in April.

Shuttle Information: The best way to utilize the shuttle would be to show up at Union Ave. around 9:00 as registration begins and unload your boats and bikes. Please be quick about unloading here as space is limited. Then drive to Habitat Park, where you can leave your vehicle and catch the Outward Bound bus back to the put-in. The shuttle will run until 10:30 am.
