This stretch of the Colorado River is close to town and is characterized as a novice-friendly route with a few small waves and a lot of flat water.
For your safety: Please DO wear your PFD tightly buckled for the entire length of the route. Even on flat water, this is still the Colorado River and it contains strong currents both above and below the surface. If you want to take a dip or float along to cool off, stay with your vessel keep your feet up to protect them from unseen rocks under the surface.
