140 People Experience River Float 2008

Sunny skies and cold water! On June 7, 140 people experienced the valley from the Roaring Fork River's perspective as they participated in River Float 2008. Organized by Roaring Fork Conservancy, this free community float and cookout gives participants an opportunity to learn about wildlife, rivers and water issues from volunteer boat naturalists of diverse backgrounds. "This is  one of our favorite events to put on each year," says Executive Director Rick Lofaro. "We have another 130 people who had a great time and are pumped about protecting our rivers." River Float could not happen without the generous support of our sponsors, volunteers, raft guides, and participants. Thanks to everyone who made this year's River Float the best yet.

River Float History
In 2004, Roaring Fork Conservancy decided that the best way to teach people about our rivers was to get them on the river. And so River Float was born. Each year we have taken over 140 people down the lower Roaring Fork River teaching them about wildlife, water issues and riparian habitat. We hope you can join us on the river!
