I’m trying to find a place that can rent, and possibly deliver canoes to Walters Camp for my family of 4. We’d like to canoe from Walters Camp to Martinez Lake. But stopping for a few days in between at places like Taylor Lake, and Picacho state park.
I have flat water experience on the Colorado as I’ve done this many years ago and have canoed since. But I’d like ot take my family down the river for a fin trip.
I know Walters does shuttling. but I need canoes and a way to get them to Walters.
Any help is much appreciated.
Las Vegas might be your best bet. I have paddled that section of the Colorado River. It is better than the upstream section which is mostly now riprap.
what is riprap?
Banks of huge rocks along the shoreline which are not only ugly, but don’t allow anywhere to land should you need to get off the water.
rock that is put there by humans to guard the shores from erosion?
what area would you suggest then instead?
I would like to try Hoover Dam down to Lake Havasu. There is a difficult put-in. You can start lower down the river. Topock Gorge is another good area, but there are some restrictions about camping in Wildlife Refuges.
