Salt River Kayaking, Whiteriver, AZ - Canoe/Kayak Trips on Waymarking.com

Inflatable Kayaks aka "Duckies" can be rented for $40/day from Salt River Rafting for a fun day kayaking down Salt River Canyon.

These inflatable kayaks (Ik's) or "duckies" are paddled either solo or tandem. You will navigate the river yourself along with a guide in his own ducky, kayak or small raft to show you the way. They consider this a HIGH ADVENTURE trip that requires above average physical condition and a "git 'er done" attitude and generally an age of 16 years or older. Trips are comfortably run to 800 cfs and get very exciting between 800 & 1,200 cfs. Of course these are just guidelines and we reserve the right to adjust according to changing river conditions when necessary for safety.

No experience is necessary, but inflatable kayaks are much more physically challenging than rafting. Getting stuck on rocks, falling out of the ducky and rescuing yourself with or without the aid of the guide are typical experiences. Before you head down river you will be required to demonstrate a self rescue in the calm pool at the put in. A self rescue entails exiting your kayak into the water and getting back into the craft with or without the assistance of the guides.

One available company to use is Salt River Rafting. Their river office in the Salt River Canyon is located at US Hwy 60 Mile Marker 293

Globe or Showlow is the last place to get fuel, food, water, etc.
