Below Wildcat Point section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V 90 miles
If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The Below Wildcat Point section of Black River - & East Fork is 90 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V section. A stretch of this length does require some preparations, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping gear. This is the only paddling section along Black River - & East Fork. If you're a camper
you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance
you're all set. When you're paddling down a Mogollon Rim Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. The nature scenery of Arizona and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
