EMERALD COVE CANOE TOUR
A quick canoe sampler with some amazing scenery and opportunities for wildlife sightings.
Antonio Trujillo
About the Experience
Our Emerald Cove trip launches from Willow Beach where the river bends before continuing downstream.
We will travel into a narrow section that contains tiny caves and outcroppings in the towering walls. Photography opportunities inside the caves vary with the season and time of day, but the green water can be breathtaking. Our focus is on experiencing the beauty of the canyon and the wildlife that calls it home.
The morning trips are quiet and less crowded, and bighorn sheep can be spotted. The midday trips are much busier, with refreshing water to cool you off.
This three hour canoe trip is the best option if you have limited time but still want great scenery. First timers and families will also appreciate the canyon.
Meet us at Willow Beach in your own vehicle. It's time to see what the excitement is all about. Let's go green.
