We are partnering with Ability360, AZ Disabled Sports, and High Country Adaptive to offer kids in the Yavapai Adaptive Watersports and Recreation Program the opportunity to go mountain biking and kayaking on beautiful Watson Lake in Prescott.
Come with us on this majestic, unique adventure! We’ll start with a 45-minute boat ride (to go upstream) on the Colorado River from Lees Ferry through Marble Canyon to the Glen Canyon Dam and then head back downstream and get dropped off at Petroglyphs Beach, where you can take a short stroll to see the petroglyphs. We’ll get in the kayaks and head back to Lees Ferry, paddling through the world-famous Horseshoe Bend.
You will need to be at the Lees Ferry boat ramp by 7:30 AM for the 8:00 AM backhaul (boat ride upstream). We should be back to Lees Ferry around 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM, depending upon how many stops we make along the way.
CAUTION- Family & Friends- There is no turning around and going back! You will be paddling for 5 - 6 hours at your own pace, and we do take breaks. Athletes will have assistance if needed. We are unable to assist anyone else with paddling. Keep in mind, we will be on the river all day without a way to go back to the boat ramp unless you paddle.

Come enjoy a paddle into Antelope Canyon. While not quite as spectacular as the walking tours, this is still a beautiful way to experience this slot canyon on Lake Powell. We’ll start with a short boat ride from Antelope Point Marina into Antelope Canyon. Then we’ll offload the kayaks and paddle as far in as we can before turning around to paddle back to the pontoon boats and head back to the marina.
