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.

We were originally booked for the tubing, but that was suspended because of Covid. We ended up doing the kayaking trip which was WONDERFUL !!! The staff was very professional, informative and hands on! The best part of the trip was seeing all the wild horses!

The scenary is very beautiful, the instructors were very well informed and explained things well. This was the first time I have ever been kayaking and I will do it again very soon. The 4 hour trip is a little long for first timers but I managed to make it through. Was able to see some wild horses which was amazing!!
