2.Backhaul Horseshoe Bend, Arizona

See famous Horseshoe Bend from a refreshing perspective. Kayak the Colorado River which runs through it. The adventure begins at well-known Lee’s Ferry in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. 

Before the trip purchase a day pass or National Park Pass. You also need a backhauling service to take you north to the specific starting point. Tell the captain you want to start beyond Horseshoe Bend at mile marker 10.

Your day of incredible kayaking starts at Horseshoe Bend, where you could be paddling for four hours due to slow-moving river currents. There are no real rapids which is why even beginners are welcome here. Stop and do some hiking in the secreted slot canyons. Have a picnic lunch on the shore and check out the ancient petroglyphs. Keep your eyes open for one of the wild horses that drink there too.

3 .Kayaking On Russian River, California

Head to Sonoma County for some of the best kayaking in the state. This river is quite popular for kayaking and canoeing because it flows through wine country, towering redwoods, and some great, quaint small towns.

Take a canoe float for half the day or sign on for a one-day, multi-activity adventure that includes kayaking, biking, and wine tasting! You can also take a kayak tour in the city of Jenner where the Russian River connects with the Pacific Ocean. Launch a kayak right by the popular Cafe Aquatica.
