Float to Work Day encourages commuting on the Animas River for all river users -- kayakers, rafters, paddle boarders and other floating crafts. To celebrate commuting to work on the water, we will have breakfast stations set up with FREE breakfast goodies, coffee and tea at Memorial Park and Schneider Park.

For the safety of river commuters, we ask that you please enter the river at the 29th Street designated put-in at Memorial Park and exit the river at the 9th Street take-out at Schneider Park. The City will be closely monitoring the river to ensure Friday, August 25 will be safe for floating to work (preferably the river will be at less than 500 CFS on the event day).

Please view the Animas River Floating Information Brochure here: http://durangogov.org/index.aspx?nid=550

The City highly encourages the use of personal floatation devices (PFDs) and helmets on the Animas River. If you do not have a PFD or helmet, please consider a rental from one of our many local river sports companies.

In the spirit of clean commuting, please leave your car at home if possible. Durango Transit is offering free ride tokens for all Float to Work Day participants, and a bus to pick up participants at the Schneider Park take-out to shuttle back to Memorial Park. We encourage walking, biking, busing and carpooling to get to Memorial Park.
