Willow Round Trip

If you’re looking for a way to stay cool, the waters of the Colorado River might be exactly what you’re looking for. Paddle around the Willow Beach area in your Wilderness Systems Pungo or Pamlico or take a short excursion up to Emerald Cove and the gauging site. Spend all four hours in your kayak exploring the Black Canyon or find a hidden beach to stop, swim, and have a bite to eat. However you choose to spend your time is up to you.

This tour is done on your own time, and without a guide. If you’re a beginner at kayaking and are looking for instruction, then check out our Guided Half-Day Tour. At 11:00, your Blazin’ Paddles attendant will fit and launch you from the Willow Beach primitive craft launch beach. At 3:00, you will meet up with your attendant at the launch point and return your kayak. This tour is rated as easy+ because you can go out as far, or stay in as close to the beach as you’d like, depending on your skill level.
