Lower Ten Mile
From the Frisco Wave down to the Lake Dillon Marina is a nice low volume class II/III section. Little play exists due to shallow depths throughout but there are a few boofs and plenty of eddy hoping and rock dodging opportunities for the beginner.
Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Ten Mile Creek are between a bare minimum of 300cfs and a high of 1,000cfs.
