Kayak Saguaro Lake
If you want to enjoy some paddle time on the beautiful Saguaro Lake, launching from Butcher Jones Recreation Area is your best bet.
If you don’t have your own kayak, you can rent from the nearby Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch and they’ll bring the kayaks to the launch point for you (as well as provide your PFD and paddle). Note that if you bring your own kayak, you need to bring a PFD (it's Arizona...

The beach is the perfect place for children to play and swim....

Kayak the Lower Salt River
It's not an Arizona summer without time spent on the Salt River! And there's no better way than by kayak. Summertime on the Lower Salt is full of people, mostly in tubes and on SUP's. Getting on the river in the early hours of the morning help avoid some of the crowds.
The best launch point by far is from Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch. Launching from here allows you to get spectacular views of t...
