Arizona whitewater, Chevelon Creek

Coconino Navajo county, Woods Canyon Lake to Little Colorado River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling places. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. There aren’t any hotels
    right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The beautiful scenery
of Coconino/ Navajo County and the water flowing gracefully down Chevelon Creek attract people from near and far. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so better bring your camping gear along.
