Kayaking the Salt River Foxtail Trip
Tổng quát
2 giờ
Vé di động
Starting at Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch, you and your group will kayak UNGUIDED down a scenic five mile stretch of river as it moves it's way through the Tonto National Forest. Participants often witness wild horses, birds and other wildlife that cool off in the river during the summer months.
We have the special privilege of being the only kayak rental company located right on the Salt River, so our trips launch directly from our site. Each reservation includes a kayak (or with advance request a paddleboard), paddle, PFD/personal flotation device and return shuttle to starting site.
This is an UNGUIDED kayaking experience. While this is primarily a scenic float there are sections of swift water and kayakers often tip out – so be prepared to get wet.

5.00It was absolutely beautiful. It took us about two hours to float down the river. We saw a wild horses a couple times. We were about 3/4 into our trip when we started to see them. I believe it cost about $52 a person for this trip. There were a few birds and we saw fish jumping out of the water. The landscape was breathtaking. We took the left forks so we could have a more adventure ride, but it wasn’t too scary. Just a few rapids. One was a little more rocky, but none of us tipped out. I definitely would do this again.
Just a fun day

5.00Our friends have done this excursion a couple times now...they love it. And we love it too! This trip was our first time kayaking down the Salt River. The Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch was fantastic. Well organized and very customer focused. Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to do this again. And as a bonus we were lucky enough to see lots of the wild horses.
Great kayak down the Salt River
