WATERWAY TOURS

Not sure what to do on the Colorado
River? Get your bearings on one of the
many guided water tours.

On Lake Havasu, you can ride a jet boat
or slower craft under the original London
Bridge, which was brought here piece by
piece. Motorized and human-powered
craft head past sand dunes and wilderness
areas on the way to rocky Topock Gorge.

Check out Lake Mohave and Davis Dam
as you paddle a kayak with guides from
Desert River Outfitters in Bullhead City.

The Hualapi Tribe uses motorized rafts
for one-day trips down calm waters and
rapids of the Colorado River west of Grand
Canyon National Park.
