Virgin River Gorge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The average Arizona whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The wonderful unknown County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you hurry you can run this section in
a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camping stuff too. There are no other sections to paddle along Virgin River than the Virgin River Gorge section. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to
come.
