Poudre River Experience

Bring the Poudre River Experience to Your Next Event!

Step into an immersive journey along the Cache la Poudre River. This 30’ x 10’ tunnel allows you to learn about each section of the river from Headwaters to the Lower Watershed. See the wildlife and habitat along the way, smell the scents of nature and hear the sounds of the great outdoors. 

The Poudre River Experience is perfect for all ages and is a great addition to any event celebrating the Cache la Poudre River, our environment, or our great Fort Collins community.
