Arizona whitewater - Little Colorado River, Coconino County

Coconino county, Below Grand Falls to above Black Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  The natural beauty of Arizona and the cool fresh water beats anything. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. There are no other sections to paddle along Little Colorado River than the Below Grand Falls to above Black Falls section. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too.

    the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. 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.
