Kayaking the Lower Salt River is one of the most fun outdoor activities in central Arizona. But there’s a lot you need to know to ensure that you have an amazing time on the water—and a lot of ways your outing can end in disaster.
Spending just a few bucks can make the difference between a memorable trip and one you don’t want to be reminded of.
