Arizona whitewater - Colorado River, Mohave County
Mohave
county,
Hoover Dam to Willow Beach section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
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 many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Hoover Dam to Willow Beach section is one of them. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. The nature scenery of Mohave County and the sparkling of the sunlight on
the water have people coming here. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling places.
