Arizona whitewater - Chevelon Creek, Coconino/ Navajo County

Coconino/ Navajo county, Woods Canyon Lake to Little Colorado River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Arizona are often more challenging than in other states, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. This is the only paddling stretch along Chevelon Creek. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Now this is a pretty long section, so make sure you pack enough food along with
    your camping gear. The natural beauty of Arizona and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile.

Briefly about the general area:
Throughout the summertime, highs mostly are in the 80's at Chevelon Creek. When the night sets
in temperatures sink down into the 50's. Throughout the winter this place gets highs in the 40's; nighttime lows at Chevelon Creek during the wintertime usually fall into the 10's. If you're here, you might as well explore Wildcat Canyon.
Chevelon Creek gets very little rainfall; the wettest month of the year is ordinarily July, that's the one that rains the most, and June on the other hand is the driest.
