Salt River Kayak Foxtail Trip: Wild Horses & Scenery!
4.9
(2624 reviews)
Duration: 120
minutes
Kayaking the Salt River Foxtail Trip offers a scenic adventure through the Tonto National Forest. Starting at Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch, people can kayak down a five-mile stretch of the Salt River. This unguided trip is perfect for those who love seeing wild horses and other animals that come to the river.
The Salt River is a beautiful place to paddle, and this trip lets people see it up close. This experience is the only kayak rental company right on the Salt River. That means trips start right from the site. Each person gets a kayak (or paddleboard if asked for ahead of time), a paddle, a life jacket, and a ride back to the starting place.
Keep in mind that this is not a guided tour. While it's mostly a relaxing float, some parts of the river are fast-moving, and people might fall out. Be ready to get wet and have fun while seeing the beautiful Salt River!
