COLORADO RIVER
CANOE TRIP

Try this amazing canoe experience while launching from Willow Beach. The lower Colorado river is moving flatwater with no rapids - just beautiful green waters. It is perfect for beginners, families, and seasoned paddlers alike.

Travel across the Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, into Arizona. Your destination is Willow Beach, where you will load your kayaks, and gear up for your journey on the Colorado river.

Canoe past the Fish Hatchery, toward the emergence of a historic trailhead. Take a break and enjoy a short hike with spectacular views. Explore the ruins before returning to the canoes.

Back on the river, the green waters of Black Canyon flow through a narrow channel, where Emerald cave is hidden. Paddle inside for a great photo opportunity. Watch for desert bighorn sheep, bald eagles, coyotes, and striped bass.

Beyond Emerald cave and the catwalk sits a sandy beach, where you'll enjoy a picnic lunch with million dollar views. Take a refreshing swim in the green waters of the Colorado river before canoeing back to Willow Beach.

This tour package for two includes a hotel room in historic Boulder City at the newly remodeled Best Western, along with breakfast at the Southwest Diner. The hotel is within walking distance of local shops, brew pubs, and restaurants.
