The Gunnison River Festival is held annually by the Nonprofit Gunnison River Festival and governed by a community board. The scope of the festival is the celebration of the headwaters of the Gunnison Watershed that flow into the Gunnison River. Many partners have participated creating an evolving environment and influencing the Festival.
PLEASE NOTE: The rapid 1/4 mile downstream of the Gunnison Whitewater Park is NOT a park feature. It is the Kemel Owens #2 Ditch diversion. When floating, especially in small personal watercraft (like a ducky or a tube), please use extreme caution or take out at the whitewater park.
