Paddle one of the most beautiful stretches of the Colorado River — no permits, no logistics headaches.
GLEN CANYON KAYAK & SUP BACKHAUL
Imagine launching beneath Glen Canyon Dam into water so clear you can see trout cruising below your boat. Towering sandstone walls rise hundreds of feet overhead as you drift through one of the most scenic stretches of the Colorado River. With no permit requirements and an easy upstream shuttle, this is one of the simplest ways to experience the beauty of the Colorado River from the water - all on your own.
THE EXPERIENCE
This is one of the most accessible and scenic paddling trips in the Southwest:
• Crystal-clear, cold water released from Glen Canyon Dam
• Towering red rock canyon walls
• Gentle current — ideal for inflatable kayaks and SUP boards
• Up to a 15 mile downstream journey ending at Lees Ferry
Perfect for:
• First-time paddlers
• Families - including your 4 legged members!
• Anglers
• Anyone wanting a “mini Grand Canyon” experience in a single day or
overnight
HOW IT WORKS
• Meet up at Lees Ferry in the morning
• Confirm your IK or SUP
• Shuttle upriver (backhaul) with Fly Fishing Specialties
• Launch anywhere you choose below Glen Canyon Dam
• Paddle back downstream at your own pace
• Finish and drop off your boats where your vehicle is waiting
No permit required, no complicated logistics, no upstream paddling.
