 The purpose of this group is to create a large group of friends that love to get together for a weekend of awesome Arizona kayaking trips where we spend the day kayaking around the most pristene moutain pine top lakes, rivers and streams.   At night we camp, grill out  some good chow over hot coals and build a bonfire that makes for good centerpiece for discusssions on lifes latest, news, jokes and political satires. 

In other words, we spend the night laughing and joking and completely forgetting about the hectic world of meetings, email and cell phones and just let go for a while.   This group enjoys all types of outdoor adventures in Arizona, not just kayaking.  We have members in our group from all over Arizona including: Ahwatukee, (Apache Junction, Chandler, Gold Canyon, Flagstaff, Gilbert, Mesa, Payson, Phoenix, Queen Creek, Sedona, Scottsdale, and Tempe.

We paddle in many popular spots and some spots that most people never hear about or see in a travel guide.  Our latest kayaking trips have taken us to spots such as Lake Powell, Woods Canyon Lake, Knoll Lake, Bear Canyon Lake, Blue Ridge Reservoir, Upper Salt River, Lower Salt River, Lake Mary, Dead Horse State Park, Verde River, Apache Lake, Lake Pleasant, Lake Roosevelt and many other places throughout Arizona that are awesome for kayaking around the lake for the day.

Many join our group after moving here from another state. If you would like to start building a new group of friends like the ones you left at home, this group is a great place to start. It's free to join, so sign up today and start making new friends that love to get outdoors and make plans to go kayaking with on mountain lakes and rivers throughout Arizona.

The majority of our members range in age from 25-45, including singles, married couples & divorced parents with kids.  Obviously you need to be in good physical shape, know how to swim and wear a lifejacket at all times when on the water.
