Pouder River Colorado
Spencer Heights Section - 4+' On Pineview Gauge
"American Whitewater"
River Description
The first mile of this run is typical Colorado whitewater. Bouncy undefined Class IV in a boulder garden riverbed. At Rocket Launcher(V) the character takes a turn as the river cuts into bedrock. Get out to scout when you see a large house-sized rock splitting the current. Most paddlers will run Rocket Launcher until the day they get stuck in the hole at the bottom, from that day on they all walk it... Just downstream is Poudre Falls, have your takeout eddy pre-scouted for this one. This series of 3 waterfalls could be described as the perfect nightmare. If it wasn't for the last fall Poudre Falls would be run all the time. The last waterfall has incredibly lethal consequences, and the odds of being upright and in control by the last fall are slim to none. All but a select few sickos portage without a second's thought. The gorge just below the falls(V-) is fun and pushy, it looks big but just run it down the middle. There will be one more big rapid(V) before crossing under Highway 14. Directly after the bridge is Boneyard(V), watch out for the undercut on the bottom right (it's paddler magnetic). For the next 1/2 mile you are in a narrow gorge, there are a few Class V drops in here. Watch out for wood, it has a tendency to wedge between the narrow walls badly. After the gorge you have 2 more good Class V rapids before the takeout. Don't snooze, the river will appear to be mellowing out before these rapids.
The correlation between the gauge at the canyon mouth and this run isn't very reliable, especially at low flows. The outflow from the upstream reservoirs can make a big difference, and the inflow from the Laramie River tunnel (right at the takeout) can inflate the lower readings. Water levels in this run can rise very quickly from snowmelt on a hot spring day.

[@DownstreamV]

Fun day right there!

[@WadeHarrison]

Yeah for sure solid day and the camping at the top with the moose’s made it even better!

[@FeWolf]

You will always remember the first run, line selection and river read was very good on the fly, well done to the gang!

[@WadeHarrison]

For sure in many ways

[@mightyhumbledread]

Poudre Falls has a unknown length cave into the wall. Nice read and run class V. Any Big South?

[@WadeHarrison]

Yes i could see that and no big south it doesn’t open until the middle of the month

[@broberts1505]

Just that typicall 11,000 foot put in. You sound pretty well acclimated . Just past the bridge, I got stuffed in the undercut there, some 30 years ago. You guys ran left in the video - had more water than we did.

[@WadeHarrison]

Yeah it’s a high elevation up there and I stay in decent shape so that doesn’t effect me much I seen some spots In there that could be issues

[@huntergipson3447]

We’ve talked about that damn spot right there 🤮🤮!! Badass run though man !! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@WadeHarrison]

Exactly it’s what kayakers nightmares are made of

[@WadeHarrison]
