Virden to US Route 666 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Arizona are harder than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The starting point is not too far from Safford, as you can see on the road map further down. The nature scenery of Arizona and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. Now this is a pretty long section, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. This is the only paddling stretch along Gila River. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t
have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other places.
