Willow Beach: Half-Day Kayak Rental – Emerald Cave, Arizona

EXPERIENCE

Put on your life jacket, grab your paddle, and hop into one of our kayaks to start your half day exploration on the Colorado River.

We recommend stopping off at Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery. Learn how rainbow trout are stocked weekly in the river.

Embark on a short hike to the River Gauger’s Home for a great photo opportunity.

Paddle to Emerald Cave (about 2 miles upstream from Willow Beach), a small natural cave on the Colorado, known for its green water.

Continue to Emerald Cove, a beautiful beach. Take a break here and rest on the sand. Eat some snacks and have a drink.

Finally, kayak back to the starting point to complete your day.
