Granite Reef Kayaking Trip on the Lower Salt River

Overview
The trip is a scenic, unguided, four and a half hour kayaking journey down the Lower Salt River. Starting at Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch, you and your group will kayak down a leisurely thirteen mile stretch of river as it moves it's way through the Tonto National Forest. Participants often witness wild horses, otters, birds and other wildlife that cool off in the river during the summer months.

We have the special privilege of being the only kayak rental company located right on the Salt River, so our trips launch directly from our site which you are returned to via shuttle after your trip. Each reservation includes a kayak rental, paddle, PFD and return shuttle to starting site.

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to launch time so you may complete waivers, prepare belongings, receive safety orientation prior to the scheduled launch time.  Water, sunscreen and dry bags are for sale. Orientation is mandatory and includes basic paddling, water safety and geography of the river.

Weather was perfect. Water flow was perfect. Driver was about 30 minutes late to the pick-up area....usually they are waiting with the van.

Wonderfully calm and pleasant way to spend part of the day, away from the daily grind with a little exercise thrown in. Beautiful scenery with the added treat of seeing the wild horses up close. Less than half an hour from home but feel like another world.

A very organized group with a wonderful introduction of kayaking and safety. If you've never kayaked before --- this is a great place to start. It is gorgeous countryside and we even saw several wild horses! It was a perfect day.
