Welcome, festival-goers! Join us for a weekend of boats, bands, bikes and beer - and loads of family fun - at this year's Royal Gorge Whitewater Festival. Now in its 15th year, RGWF will be an event like no other. Fremont County's section of the Arkansas River includes both world-class whitewater and beautiful, scenic stretches. Recently, we've added a whitewater park, complete with play waves, to the list of amenities. Our events feature the best of the river - from class IV to family-friendly demonstrations and contests. We're also proud to feature our local trail systems and have five separate events for those who would rather stay dry: both trail runs and mountain bike events.
