Come
canoeing with the help of SPLORE guides and volunteers!
SPLORE customizes all canoeing programming to the needs
of our clients, making it one of our most accessible,
affordable and enjoyable activities. Canoe trips vary
in length from half-day to multi-day trips. Our programs
take place on the diverse waterways surrounding Salt Lake
City and in the canyon country of southern Utah. Canoeing
areas include the flat-water sections of the Jordan, Bear,
Colorado and Green Rivers, plus the Little Dell Reservior,
Jordanelle Reservoir, and the Great Salt Lake. |
Half and full-day trips take place on local reservoirs
and the Jordan River.
Multi-day adventures travel to Labyrinth Canyon on the
Green River in scenic southern Utah.
Before you get out on the water, you will be introduced
to various paddle strokes that will help you to maneuver
your canoe, including the Draw, Pry, Sweep and 'J' strokes.
During the float, you will enjoy spectacular scenery and
the company of other outdoor enthusiasts.
