"The river always purified. It seemed to bring some thoughts from far above, who knew from where, and carry others far downstream, who knew whither. Using the river, a person could dream awake, like a child."
Paul Horgan, “Great River – The Rio Grande in North American History”
Update – April 25, 2024
Flows were quite low through early April, but have now risen to spring runoff levels. As a result, we're once again taking advantage of these relatively rare conditions to offer outings along the Middle Rio Grande State Park reach in Albuquerque, which is a unique section of river passing through the heart of Albuquerque. Self-guided options are available now, as are paddlecraft rentals for those wanting to transport watercraft to destinations themselves.

New Mexico strictly prohibits operation of any watercraft while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Please save the party for after the river.
