Start at Johnson Habitat Park (free parking) and take out at Globeville Landing Park. Both parks have easy access to the river and free parking.
The run starts about 2 miles above REI and takes out about a 2 miles below REI. Lots of man made boat shoots with fun class II and III+ waves. This streach can be run at pretty low water during off season.
