So sad about the wild fires from last summer but the Poudre will return!! We just love the Poudre river. My parents took us kids there camping and fishing and now I take my kids and grand kids camping and fishing. The Poudre has a very special place in our hearts!!

The River is one of the truely undiscovered pleasures of Colorado. No fancy resorts or anythign like that! Great quiet hiking trails and camping aloing the river ! But don't let it out !

Rafting on this river is especially good in the early season, but you might want to rent a wet-suit because it runs pretty cold. Driving up Pinegree Park road you can see the sheer devastation from last years fires

The canyon along highway 14 is a great drive. Allow lots of time to stop and walk! Lots to see and take pictures of...

We have only visited it in the winter, which is the "off" season, but it is a rugged and beautiful drive. You can walk out on the iced river.

The Poudre is great if you just want to take a scenic drive or if extreme adventure is more your flavor. And it is worth a visit any time of the year. Sure it can be a bit cold in the winter but you wont have to fight the traffic or the crowds. Please leave it better than you find... More

Great Colorado river. The Canyon west of Fort Collins is a great drive. Lots of fishing spots along the way. Its fun to see the rafts and kayaks in the late spring and summer. Drive all the way up to Cameron pass for good hiking. Take the turn down to Long Draw Reservoir and access to the North side of... More

Everything about this area is just beautiful! Grab a lunch from town and sit by the river and enjoy the sounds of nature!

Great fishing all up and down this river, but better the further up you go. Some especially nice runs and riffles you can access from the Poudre River Fish Hatchery - which is fun to take the kids to to feed the fingerlings. Great views and clean water, its the Rocky Mountain experience at its best!
