Kayak the Colorado at Lees Ferry and Marble Canyon

Return to Lee's Ferry to Kayak the Colorado! A return trip to Lees Ferry Campground to enjoy the beautiful Colorado River, beach, and nearby attractions such as the Navajo Bridge with possible condor watching, Horseshoe Bend, and Antelope Canyon.

We plan to rent kayaks that will take us upriver to easily paddle downstream in the cool waters of the Colorado River, which offers stunning ancient rock walls that rise to form the majestic Marble Canyon, a prelude to what will give way to the Grand Canyon downstream.

Camping: Lees Ferry Campground is first-come, first-served. There is also lodging nearby if you would like to glamp camp.

Kayaks: Our trip is on Friday, April 25

Reservations are REQUIRED; however, they are not available yet. Just mark your calendar for now! (11/10/24)

1. Choose the kayak you prefer - we had inflatables last year and they were great! The following is available: fast hardshell kayaks, stable inflatables, canoes, stand up paddle boards, and sit on top kayaks.

2. Choose Friday, April 25 - as of 11/10 I'm double-checking the time

3. Be sure to also schedule a Backhaul Taxi

4. The group will start about half-way upriver. If you want to start at Glen Canyon Dam and go around Horseshoe Bend (15 miles) please do so however many of the group are doing the shorter (10 miles) journey.
