Full Day Float Trip

Guided Float Trips at Glenwood Springs Outdoors offer an unparalleled way to experience the pristine waters of Colorado's Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, exclusively through our expert-guided services in Glenwood Springs. Covering at least 60 miles of prime river access, these float trips open up stretches of water unavailable to wade fishermen, allowing you to cover more ground, target more productive pools, and enjoy breathtaking scenery along the way.

A guided float trip is perfect for couples or groups where not everyone wants to fish— one angler can cast away while your partner relaxes with a book, camera, sun hat, and sunscreen, soaking in the stunning mountain views and tranquil river vibes. Our knowledgeable guides tailor each outing to your preferences, ensuring a relaxing yet rewarding day on the water.

We primarily float the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, with year-round opportunities on the lower sections. Higher up the Fork, lower late-season flows may limit access, but the lower Roaring Fork and Colorado provide consistent floating conditions throughout the year. Choose between a raft for shallower water exploration (ideal higher on the Fork) or a drift boat for smoother, more stable rides in deeper stretches—both options excel in their environments.

Float trips welcome anglers of all levels, from novices to seasoned pros. If you're new to floating, simply let your guide know in advance—they'll adjust the itinerary to maximize comfort and success, focusing on easier waters or techniques that build confidence. Wear waders if you want to hop out and wade prime spots when the opportunity arises, or opt for shorts, lightweight gear, and sandals in summer to stay cool while still wading comfortably. Your guide will discuss clothing and setup details beforehand to match conditions and your style.

Our priority is delivering the best possible day tailored to your needs—whether you're chasing trophy trout, honing your fly fishing skills, or simply enjoying a scenic river adventure. With all equipment, water, and flies included, plus expert local knowledge of hatches, runs, and fish behavior, our guided float trips combine adventure, relaxation, and top-tier fishing in one unforgettable package.
