South Main Buena Vista, Colorado
Get Your Free Visitor Guide:
South Main is the village that kayaking built. This extraordinary planned multi-use community revolves around the river and outdoors lifestyle. Located just east of Buena Vista beside the Arkansas River, it’s ideally situated to take full advantage of the area’s countless adventures. This environmentally-conscious development exudes an invigorating “live and play” vibe where there are as many pedestrians and bikes as cars.
Homes and independently-owned businesses intertwine along narrow tree-lined cobblestone streets. Boutique shops, art galleries, enchanting lodging and dining all co-exist on a neat footprint of just a few square blocks. South Main is also home to a world class whitewater park that draws kayakers from all over the world.
The village hub and festival-center is The Beach at River Park. From free summer concerts to annual festivals including the Rapids and Grass Beer Festival, this vibrant venue is a true gathering point. From here explore the boulder garden and artsy outdoor living room, too.
Like all extraordinary things, South Main started with a dream. Then the boldness to make it a reality.
The Dream
In the early 2000s, two local siblings, Jed and Katie Selby, envisioned a kayak-centric micro-town to attract fellow adventurers. After searching all over North America for the right property, the perfect spot was found right here. With phenomenal river access and spectacular mountain views, it had endless possibilities. The Selby’s remarkable transformation of this 41.5 parcel into a “New Urbanism” project earned South Main the prestigious Wright Award in 2016, given to Colorado companies that excel in combining lifestyle and commerce.
The Destination
Lodging in South Main recently expanded in an extraordinary way. Now there are two stylishly mountain rustic hotels, the Surf Chateau and the Surf Hotel. Both options are so close to the water that whitewater serenades are guaranteed.
Showcasing an architectural mix of river rock and wood, the 20-room Surf Chateau is enchanting and cozy. It is complemented by its new neighbor, the 42-room Surf Hotel. Nature’s wonders and are in full view from wrap-around balconies. This four-star boutique hotel complex also has an exciting new music and event venue, the Ivy Ballroom. Literally built to rock, the Ivy has two-foot thick walls effectively enhancing a world-class sound system. An immersive ambiance makes for unforgettable intimate live concerts and events. It’s also an incredible destination wedding venue. The Surf Hotel’s gorgeous honeymoon suite and guest rooms conspire to make this the ultimate place to say “I do.”
The hotel’s 100-seat elegantly casual ‘Wesley & Rose’ restaurant features farm-to-table cuisine. Choose cozy indoor dining or riverfront patio seating as well as a private dining room that seats 32. The bar’s cocktails are crafted with hard-to-find specialty liquors and local craft beers on tap. They also serve weekend brunch.
In the main village, don’t miss sampling local craft beer at Eddyline Brewing and Restaurant or enjoy authentic Espresso and Gelato at the Midland Stop. Find unexpected finds and delights on every corner of South Main.

800-723-8987 You are in this Colorado river rafting video if you rafted with River Runners on August 17, 2011. Book you Colorado river rafting adventure today!

The Arkansas River flows usually peak between the 1st and 3rd week of June between 2000 cubic feet per second and 6000 cubic feet per second.

Colorado river rafting on the Arkansas River is best from Buena Vista, Colorado or Canon City, Colorado. River Runners offers whitewater rafting trips from their Riverside Rafting Resort in Buena Vista, Colorado. This Colorado river rafting location is unique, because it is located right on the Arkansas River. This saves you time on your Colorado vacation. Other rafting companies will outfit you in your neoprene rafting gear and shuttle you to the river in a van. This can be very uncomfortable. When you raft with River Runners you may relax at the resort and take off rafting right from there.
For adventure seekers try the Numbers or Pine Creek. For families with small children take a scenic family float trip. The most popular whitewater rafting trip in Colorado is Browns Canyon.
If you are rafting in Canon City near Colorado Springs try the Royal Gorge. This is the best Colorado river rafting trip in the state. Families will enjoy the class III rapids in Bighorn Sheep Canyon.

Arkansas River Buena Vista, Colorado. Record runoff!!
Hello, and welcome to my YouTube channel.
I recently visited Buena Vista, Colorado for a week of gold mining in August 2019 at Cache Creek. I was able to pour six buckets of material from the Arkansas River. It was very difficult considering the river is that record high.
I’ll be making another trip to Cache Creek before snowfall, try and get a hole dug to 12 foot mark. Be looking for better videos in the future.
