Excited to have the 17th annual PaddleFest in Buena Vista, Colorado coming back this Memorial Day weekend, May 26-29th.
This hands on, interactive and engaging festival has events of all ages, all abilities and all interests.
Come join your friends and family over this 4 day weekend and EXPLORE the on water demos, competitions, races, classes, workshops, swaps, sales, music, food, and beverages too. Just so much going on and we would love to see you here.
The entire weekend is also a fundraiser for Chaffee Co. Search and Rescue North. You know, the guys and gals that come save us when we are in trouble, on and off the water. They are awesome and we love to support their efforts.
Happy paddling everyone

BUENA VISTA: A TOWN THAT GOES WITH THE FLOW
At the base of the Sawatch mountain range lives a one-stoplight town, and a river runs through it.
From the first sign of snowmelt to the time the leaves start their change, the Arkansas River Valley is the place to be. The overall sense of community revolves around Sup’ing the Milk Run with a handful of your favorite friends, riding your bike down to surf in our play park until the sun sets, getting your heart rate up on the Pine Creek and Numbers section of the Ark, and exploring the Brown’s Canyon Monument by raft, kayak, or foot. There is something for everyone in those summer days that keep on giving.
Around the endless amount of activities offered by this valley, is the support of a community that throws itself into making all the fun as accessible as simply showing up. Start your day with a steaming cup of coffee from The Buena Vista Roastery, head over to CKS Main Street and pick up anything you need to enjoy all that the river has to offer, and finish your day sipping a cold beer from Eddyline Brewery or a cocktail from the Deerhammer Distillery.
The big bang that starts off our incredible river season is Paddlefest, which falls on Memorial Day weekend. If you’re looking for a way to get involved in river sports, ready to hone your skills, or just want a good party that involves playing on water; this is the place to be. Clinics, competitions, races, and concerts make it a weekend not to miss!
The Arkansas River Valley has captured the hearts of all who visit or now call it home. It is the mountain town that just won’t quit, and the summer months give it the soul that makes it a nook worth exploring.
