Kayak & Small-Craft Gear

Gear for Western Colorado kayak and small-craft days — valley put-ins, short floats, and stillwater paddles where a stable craft and honest safety stack matter more than a “secret spot.”

Use this page when you already know you are going by kayak or small boat. For a full day plan (region → water → species → style), start in Trip Builder. Pair this kit with Colorado Safety Essentials for PFD / throw-aid basics, and read our throw-aid + swim honesty notes before Class I–II valley floats.
