History
Established in 1982.
One of the first whitewater outfitters in Fort Collins, A Wanderlust Adventure started taking customers down the Cache La Poudre River in 1982. Pat Legel, the owner and founder of the company, began taking enthusiasts down the Poudre with only one raft and a Datson Pickup back in the early eighties. Since then, Wanderlust has gradually grown into one of the Poudre’s largest outfitters offering half and full day trips on the only «Wild and Scenic» River in Colorado. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned whitewater veteran, Wanderlust offers mild to wild trips for every type of rafter!
