White's Canoe Livery
White's Canoe Livery, situated on the Rifle River, is a full-service canoe rental facility with a large campground. The facility can accommodate campers of all levels--from RVers (with full hookups), to those trailing pop-ups, to those who like to rough it on the tent pads, and even to those who prefer the creature comfort of four walls and baseboard heat of cabins. The campground offers some sites with river views, but even if you can't secure one, there are ample hiking trails both on the river and into forested areas.
