Where to paddle

  • Black Canyon and Emerald Cave: the most popular paddle on the river, from Willow Beach.
  • Lake Mead: calm coves for sunset paddles.
  • Katherine Landing: kayak and paddleboard rentals on Lake Mohave near Laughlin.

The rafting trips below Hoover Dam are smooth floats, not whitewater, and are fine for most ages.
