Rivers & Streams About To Peak: ‘It Only Takes One Small Mistake’

By Matt Kroschel
SILVERTHORNE, Colo. (CBS4) – Spring runoff in rivers and streams in Colorado will peak in the next several weeks and lots of people are out boating, but many are not doing it safely.
There was a very close call on the Eagle River Saturday left four people, three not wearing life vests at the time, stuck in the middle of the river after the raft they were in wrapped around a rock.
