| Description: The whitewater park
in Lyons is new as of 2003. There are bathrooms, a ballfield, horseshoes
and boating. The Saint Vrain River is a small front range river. The drop
structures are spread out more than other local playparks leaving nice big
pools and eddies. This playpark is easier than Boulder Creek and the Golden
Playpark making it a better choice for the novice boater. The drops are
at different angles/slopes lending to a variety of water features and waves.
Currently there are not any gates set up. With all the trees around this
course, temporary gates will not be a problem. The best rodeo hole is 1/2
mile below the actual playpark. It is just downstream of a foot bridge and
is pictured to the left. |
Please mouse over the picture below. This dropstructure is just
east of town and can be a take-out for the Playpark. It is about 1/2 mile
below the park.
