Class II-III (IV) Verde River, AZ

The Verde River is a unique and important resource in Arizona. In a southwestern state where perennial flowing water is rare, the riparian oasis of the Verde River stands in stark contrast to the arid uplands where it meanders. Indeed, Verde is the Spanish term for the color "green."

Major river access points are at White Bridge where State Highway 260 crosses the river east of Camp Verde, at Beasley Flats via Forest Roads 574 and 529, and near Childs Power Plant via Forest Roads 708 and 502. The Verde River provides diverse recreational opportunities including boating, hunting, fishing, birding, hiking, picnicking, and photography.

1-3 day float through a lush riparian zone surrounded by rugged desert landscape.
