The Colorado River Kayaking in Yuma

Deep in the southwestern tip of Arizona is the city of Yuma, right alongside our borders with both California and Mexico. Yuma also resides next to the final stretch of the Colorado River in Arizona, where the water itself roughly becomes the border and flows into Mexico.

Because the Colorado River is so close and slow moving, any kayaking to be done will be leisurely and relaxed as you keep cool in water surrounded by the desert’s natural beauty. If you don’t have your own watercraft, Yuma has plenty of companies that do kayak and canoe rentals so you can enjoy a great day near the end of the Colorado River.
