Clarkdale to Camp Verde section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Arizona are harder than the national norm, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The beautiful scenery of Arizona and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Clarkdale to Camp Verde section is just one of many. There are nice comfortable hotels here, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If
you're coming from Prescott it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other rivers for that.
This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too.
