Arizona whitewater - Bill Williams River, Mohave County
Mohave
county,
Alamo Dam to Lake Havasu section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
I've been to this part of the Bill Williams River a dozen times. I've never seen any water in it, except for a few isolated oases (is that plural for oasis?), such as the sometimes beautiful (and sometimes ugly) riparian area at the west end of Planet Ranch. But, I believe the river has water sometimes, as I seem to recall that a flood in the early 90's washed away a chunk of Planet Ranch farmland. Anyway, check with whoever controls the outflow at Alamo dam or you'll be dragging your raft for miles through the sand. Says Desert Rat
There are
campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so it looks like you will be camping out. The nature scenery of Mohave County
and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This is the only paddling stretch along Bill Williams River.
Briefly about the general area: For the period of the long summer days highs here at Bill Williams River reach the 100's. Once the sun is down it falls down to the 80's. Highs throughout the winter are usually in the 60's, and overnight lows in the 40's for Bill Williams River. Bill Williams River is typically a rather dehydrated location; January is the month that gets the most rain while June is the month with the least amount of precipitation.
