Guided Tours

Guided Trips

Want to get out on the water, but don’t know where to go? Downstream Edge Guides have been exploring Colorado for over 10 years, and they know where the best adventures await. DSE Guides are fun, knowledgeable, and prioritize safety over all else. They will do everything they can to make your adventure everything you hoped it would be. They’ll make sure you get the basics of paddling, then they’ll take you on a great adventure around an alpine mountain lake to get some fun paddling in, see wildlife, and go on unique side hikes along rivers and creeks flowing into the lake.

Stand Up Paddling (SUP)

Stand Up Paddling is taking the world by force. It’s fun, simple, and it’s a great way to paddle. The learning curve is quick once you get on a board, so taking a full lesson is not really necessary to have a fun day. If you want to get on a SUP board and go to a beautiful lake to go paddling, then a guided trip with a Downstream Edge Guide is the thing for you.

Canoeing

Many of the classic American childhood memories started in the seat of a canoe. We aim to keep that tradition alive. Hire a Downstream Edge Guide to take you on a wonderful canoe trip to help create some of those memories for you and your family. The guides will be sure you know the basics of paddling a canoe, then it’s off on an adventure to see beautiful Colorado scenery, wildlife, and enjoy nature. Overnight canoe trips are also available and you are welcome to bring fishing gear to fish from the canoe. Just be sure you have your fishing license.

Kayaking

Downstream Edge employs only the top kayak guides in the state of Colorado. DSE guides can take you for a scenic lake tour in a lake or sea kayak, or they can guide you on a whitewater run if you are an experienced whitewater paddler. If you are a beginner looking to get into whitewater kayaking, DSE guides offers kayak instruction courses as well.

Tubing

Want to go tubing, but not sure where to go? Downstream Edge Guides can lead you on a fun and safe tubing trip on Boulder Creek, Saint Vrain River, or Clear Creek. The guides always know the best sections of creek to float at certain times of the year. They are also trained in river rescue and first aid, and are extremely knowledgeable about Colorado and our rivers and landscapes.

Rafting

Downstream Edge Guides does not offer guided rafting trips.

Learn To Stand Up Paddle Board

Knee paddling

The instructor will also be able to help advise you on gear if you are interested in purchasing. Classes available Tues. and Thurs. 5-7pm and Saturdays 9-11am. Classes are held at Boulder Res, Macintosh Lake, or Gross Res. Your instructor will inform you of the location. If you are looking to learn how to Stand up Paddle, Downstream Edge Guides are providing excellent clinics for beginners on the Front Range of Colorado. Their great instructors will teach you the basics of paddle boarding, and make sure you have what it takes to go out on your own. 2-hour clinics are currently offered on tuesday and thursday evenings from 5-7pm and Saturday mornings from 9-11 am. In a typical 2-hour clinic, you will develop your paddleboarding skills by working on the following skills and more:

Standing up and positioning for best balance and performance

Forward stroke

Sweep stroke (for turning)

Reverse sweep

Bracing

Pivot turns (more advanced students)

Other Info

Prerequisite

Swimming ability is not required, but recommended, as this class is on the water. This class is great for all ages. The workout that you will get by Stand Up Paddling is based directly on the amount of energy that you put into. You can easily paddle around without exerting yourself or you can pull on the paddle and get a great workout.

What to Expect

This class is designed to expose you to a new sport and teach you the proper technique to excel in Stand Up Paddling, (SUP). Your instructor will teach you about the design/shape of a SUP board and how this effects performance and stability. They will go over stretches for paddling, safety considerations, self rescue techniques, proper technique to stand on your board, and paddling technique. You will be up and paddling around the lake during this class. Your instructor will continue to give you pointers as you paddle and turn your board. At the completion of this course, you will have the knowledge and skill to be a SUP Paddler.

Will I get wet?

To get onto your board, you will need to walk out into the water to about knee deep. So your feet and calves will get wet when you enter and exit the lake with your board. Please bring footwear that can get wet. Wetsuit boots, sandals with a heel attachment or bare feet all work depending on the time of year and water/air temperatures. We use very stable boards for this class, but when you are first learning how to be a Stand Up Paddler, you may fall in. This is part of the learning curve and does not happen to everyone. Please be prepared based on water and air temperatures for a quick dunk in the lake. Gear that is included in our lake class: Standup Paddleboard, paddle, lifejacket. Please bring appropriate warm clothing for this class.

Refund Policies

50% of the class fee is non-refundable at the time the reservation is made. Classes canceled 48 hours or more in advance are able to be rescheduled (subject to availability) without penalty. Within 48 hours of the class start time, funds are committed and you will be charged for the class. If the class is canceled due to weather, etc. you will have the option of reschedule or refund.

Sup Yoga

Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga

Nothing is better for improving your balance than yoga on a stand up paddle board. Yoga develops balance even on the ground, just think of what it can do while floating. Obviously, SUP yoga will be more difficult, so the classes start more basic than a standard Yoga class. Once you get the balance dialed in, you’ll be doing all sorts of Yoga poses you never thought were possible on a stand up paddle board. FREE! Introduction to SUP yoga - May 23rd at our shop.
