Breckenridge Whitewater Park (Town Run)
Compared to the other whitewater parks in Colorado this one isn't in the same league. However, if there is good water flows (which doesn't happen too often) you can get some mini-river running in. This "park" consists of about 10 features, none of which surf at any flow (50cfs - 400cfs).
Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Blue River are between a bare minimum of 150cfs and a high of 400cfs.
