The October Hole River Run in Colorado is a beautiful and challenging section of water. The river features several obstacles including Class III and IV rapids, tight turns, and steep drops. The run is best suited for experienced rafters and kayakers. The recommended time of year to float this section is during the late spring and early summer when water levels are at their highest, with a recommended CFS (cubic feet per second) range of 1,000 to 2,500. It is important to note that this section of the river can be dangerous and should only be attempted by experienced paddlers.
