RIVER CONDITIONS
Class I Boating Pristine and Peaceful
All boating in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area from Lee's Ferry to the Dam is a smooth water float. You cannot continue downstream of Lee's Ferry. The total run from the dam is 16 miles in length (overnight) and 10 miles from Petroglyph Beach down ( Our suggestion for a day trip). Day trips from the Petroglyph Beach @ 10m should take between 4-6 hours with lunch and a hike. If you would like a shorter run just talk to the captain on the way up:)

CAMPING OVERNIGHT ?
For overnighters we suggest taking our backhaul service upstream from Lee's Ferry to the dam, where folks can paddle downstream to any one of the 5 camps along the river with composting toilets, and stay overnight for a beautiful night under the stars. Composting toilets clearly mark out camps, always camp with the Leave No Trace Principles. Pack it In ~ Pack it Out! Currently there are no permits necessary for camping if you paid the entrance fee, or have a national parks pass.
LIKE TO KAYAK AND FISH?
The Glen Canyon Recreation Area is a world class tail water fishery! You will need to carry your fishing permit which can be purchased below. The Colorado River does have a few special considerations like No Live Bait, and crimped barbs to name a few. The AZ Game and Fish Websites has all the details if you like to fish.
KAYAK HORSESHOE BEND
For Day Trips we suggest utilizing our backhaul service from the Parking Lot at Lee's Ferry to Petroglyph Beach just upstream of Horseshoe Bend, where folks can then spend the next 4-6 hours kayaking around Horseshoe Bend and back to their awaiting car at Lee's Ferry. We will pickup your kayak at the ramp when you return to Lee's Ferry:). After you book we will supply all the directions for a fabulous day on the water.
