Arizona whitewater - Wet Beaver Creek, Yavapai County

Yavapai county, Beaver Ranger Station to Beaver Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The nature scenery of Yavapai County and the water flowing gracefully down Wet Beaver Creek make the trip here worthwhile. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. There are no other sections to paddle along Wet Beaver Creek than the Beaver Ranger Station to Beaver Creek section. You might have
    to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling
spots. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The campgrounds here at Wet Beaver Creek are pretty good.
