The Golden Whitewater Park river run in Colorado is a Class III-IV rapids experience, featuring numerous obstacles such as rocks, drops, and eddies. This river run is best tackled during the summer months when water levels are higher, with a recommended flow of 500-1200 CFS. Rapids such as "The Dangler" and "The Cut" offer thrilling challenges, while more mellow sections allow for scenic floats. It's important to note that the Golden Whitewater Park is designed specifically for kayakers and paddle boarders, and may not be suitable for other types of watercraft.
