Rafters from KC - My family wanted an unforgettable experience and that is what we got. We were guided by Tyler and Ollie for both our rafts. They were fun and experienced and kept us entertained the whole trip. Lost Paddle was easy to work with and booking was simple, they were also accommodating to the younger rafters in our family. When we come back we will most definitely use them again. Thank you for taking care of our family.

Full Day Royal Gorge Rafting - Had a fantastic day rafting with Lost Paddle Rafting. Group of eight so we split into two rafts with Steven and Johnny. Bighorn Sheep Canyon in morning, delicious lunch spread, and Royal Gorge in afternoon. Highly recommend. Professional & courteous. Would raft with them again!

Afraid to white water rafting guide, now I can’t wait for the next trip! Cheeeeaaaaa! - The experience rafting guide made it enjoyable. Would recommend you also come in June. The food was surprisingly good for this type of trip. First time white water rafting and it was amazing. Even hit 2 category 4 spots.went in July but coming back in June when it’s more challenging. Virginia the white water rafting guide was cheerful and very knowledgeable. Our raft was the only one that didn’t flip, didn’t have any swimmers and we didn’t hit the wall that 9/10 rafts hit. I always fell over twice but with her guidance stayed onboard. Lots of elderly folk were present, so don’t be afraid to try.

Epic rafting experience! - Absolutely epic trip down the River. We truly had a blast. Tyler was a wonderful guide for our family. The blind bus driver is also really great getting us safely to and from.

Great rafting day. - Just a wonderful experience from start to finish. Proof that you don’t need to feed the big box rafting companies at all. Our guide Johnny was perfect for us I feel like we have another brother in our circle of life. The equipment and safety displayed was bar none the best. Lunch was perfect and the river delivered all day. Can not wait to do this again we are talking about multi day trip next time. Thank you Kelly, Tiffany and Johnny just a great day all around.

Amazing Rafting Experience - The first half of the trip was just as advertised and a great warm-up for the afternoon run through the Gorge. The rapids and views combine to make this the best rafting experience in Canon City. Our guide, Tyler, was excellent and made the trip so much better. If you are in the area,go with Lost Paddle. You won't regret it.

The best time on a river I’ve ever had! - I just wanna say that our experience with this group was amazing. We did a full day trip and it was awesome. Our guide Ollie was amazing. The entire group was awesome. It was super easy to book. They stayed on top of everything. The only thing you need to bring is a bottle of water other than that they cover at A-to-Z. I cannot recommend this outfit Highly enough. The river was an amazing experience so much fun!

Big Adventure! - My fiancé and I had such a great time on our rafting trip!! Steven was our guide and he did a great job navigating the river when the water levels were so high. We were told that the river was at 2,300 CFS, when we went and it was definitely thrilling! Nearly fell out a few times. Not for the faint of heart.
