- Comments: The Eagle River near Vail offers some of the most intense and exciting early season rafting in Colorado. The water levels are not dam controlled and fluctuate with the weather. For this reason, each day we run the stretch we feel offers the best trip, depending on water conditions. This is a physically demanding trip, and all participants must be in excellent health, have prior whitewater experience, and be strong swimmers. The Gore Creek portion of the trip, when run, starts at Ford Park and runs through the heart of Vail Village. Gore Creek converges with the Eagle River at Dowd Chute, which then runs into the Upper Eagle River .
