Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Arizona is often tougher than elsewhere, so better not forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The nature scenery of Arizona and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. There are
    plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area
has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Perkinsville to Clarkdale section is one of them.
