Canoe / Kayak
There are many excellent places to go canoeing or kayaking in Summit County, Colorado. Lake Dillon, in the heart of Summit County, is a great place to spend the day on the water. Paddle or row your way alongside the shore and you'll be graced with sightings of birds and wildlife. Lake Dillon is surrounded by gorgeous mountain peaks and the water has a lovely clarity. Hop in a boat right from either Frisco or Dillon, or if you have the time, drive to a more scenic and remote boat ramp. Rentals and services are available at both marinas. more info

For those looking for a true adventure, take a canoe or kayak trip down
one of Summit County's moving waterways. In addition to some of
the world's best whitewater and playboating, there are several sections
of the Blue River that are perfect for beginning boaters! The
Blue River runs through the heart of Colorado's Gorge Range and Eagles
Nest Wilderness Area. Running from 9,000 feet on down, kayaking
or canoeing on the Blue River is one of the best ways to enjoy
Colorado's alpine scenery.
Near Breckenridge, a man-made play park provides easy access to
kayaking fun. A variety of water formations will keep any paddler
entertained for days on end. Beginning/intermediate kayakers can
try to surf some of the easier waves, or they can just gawk at the
amazing skills of the pros. Advanced paddlers will enjoy showing
off and trying new tricks!
The upper and lower sections of the Blue River also offer endless
opportunities for play. More than just play, however, running a
whole section of the river is a fabulous Colorado adventure. The
Upper section is filled with progressively more difficult rapids.
The Lower Blue is mostly class III and runs through an impressive
canyon. Be sure to check water levels before you decide to
go! The upper and lower Blue River runs are regulated by
reservoir levels and Denver's demand for water
