Activities - Rafting & Watersports
SPRINGFUN
Two of
the most popular activities in Norwood area, when the wind starts
blowing and the sun starts to be nice again, are going rock's
scrambling and collectible huntlers. A sample way to get back to
the blossoming nature.
WATERSPORTS
Afternoon thermals on Miramonte Reservoir
create great rides for windsurfers. The reservoir also offers
swimming and water-skiing. Spring run-off on the San Miguel River
and the Dolores River inspires high adventure for rafting, kayaking
and canoeing through nearby desert canyon country. Visit our
Recreation Section for local services.
