About This Trip
Unfortunately we are not planning to raft the Verde River this season due to closures.
Experience Arizona’s only federally designated “Wild and Scenic” River on a fabulous 2 day adventure with 5 star camping! The Verde River rafting trip offers fun Class II and Class III splashes as you paddle through the beautiful and serene surroundings. The Verde River AZ rafting season is often quite short and in the early spring, so be sure to call our office to discuss trip options!
Itinerary
DAY 1 ITINERARY
9:30 AM
Meet at Beasley Flats in Camp Verde, Arizona.
Check in, sign release forms, get dressed for the river! Wetsuit and wetsuit boot rentals are highly recommended.
Shuttle to river for safety orientation and rafting instructions. Then, hit the river to start off your Verde River rafting trip!
Tackle “Off the Wall,” “Pre-falls” and the exciting Class IV to V (depending on water levels) “Verde Falls” (often requires portaging)!
After the falls, float through the highly restricted “Eagle Closure” where stopping is prohibited to protect the winter nesting ground of the desert bald eagles
Stop for a delicious deli-style lunch, then, head out to challenge “Bull Run,” Rock Garden” & “Punk Rock,” among others.
Late evening brings us to our stop for camp, with time for hiking, fishing, or just relaxing. Our guides will cook you a fantastic campfire dinner that evening, and a hearty breakfast in the morning to keep you fueled for the river!
