Black Canyon Canoe Trip
Join Out Door Recreation for a 2-day canoe expedition of the Black Canyon in Nevada (just south of Lake Mead)! Launching from the base of the Hoover Dam, we will explore the wonders of Black Canyon and soak in natural hot springs and geothermal features. You might see desert bighorn sheep, hawks, lizards, and if we’re very lucky, bald eagles! Paddlers will have the opportunity to explore small caverns, grotto’s, and hidden coves along the banks of the river. Paddling on the Colorado through Black Canyon is relaxing flat water, with smooth and glassy waters, and the occasional current, but no rapids. After the first day of leisurely paddling, we will be having a river side camp out on the beach next to the Colorado River, where Out Door Recreation will prepare a specialty back-country dinner next to a warming fire under the stars.
All camping and canoe gear/equipment and meals will be provided By Out Door Recreation. All participants will be issued a solo tent and sleeping system unless they are from the same household.
