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 wonderful Arizona scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Arizona you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. There are no other stretches to paddle along Chevelon Creek than the Woods Canyon Lake to Little Colorado River stretch. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping gear. You might have
    to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. And of course, there are
campgrounds nearby.
